Skin issue - Mechanichal Rig in Maya
Hi everyone! I'm having problems with skinning geometry to joint chains, that is attached to another joint. The IK works fine by its own when I'm moving it. From image #1. In image #2 I'm moving the IK by my self and the skin-function seem to go just as it should. But the IK cannot be moved as a parent to another joint… -
Maya - Parented joints don't rotate?
Hey there, I've created a humanoid rig and set up IK handles for the arms and legs. To do this, I had to set parent constraints to the shoulder joints. But after doing so, they don't rotate around the character anymore when I rotate the character's spine. The shoulder joints are just stuck in place and I need to manually… -
Re: [Blender] Is it possible to hide a bone parented to an object while animation is running ?
hey bro, yes I think to avoid this modifier... scale the mag bone in pose mode right? just the scale with value 0,0,0 for the whole axes in for exampel "keyframe number 49" ...and in the next keyframe (keyframe number 50 ) returno back to the original scale wgich is 1,1,1 ? do you have a youtube's tutorial to see it this… -
Re: Need correct method of Physique weighting, and Bip
Right, when you assign the physique modifier you can choose to make the physique assignment rigid or deformable, than go into vertex mode, select the vertices, make them rigid (green cross) and lock them, than you can edit their weights in the weight table. If your exporters support the skin modifier. I would prefer… -
Re: Dog Rig
I havea managed to sort out the legs in terms of the linking and foot rolls along with the eye controls as well as the COG. I have ran into a couple of problems that are driving me insane though :( The first is the Spline IK spine. I cant seem to stop the bones from stretching when I move the controlers. In the bone edit… -
Re: Problem going from Cryptic to Biped
To help combat popping between IK/FK make sure you have a 3 degree bend between your bones when rigging. If you straighten out the bones of any IK/FK set up even a custom one, it will have trouble figuring out which system to use. It's why biped and 99% of all rigs have atleast 3degree bends in the limbs, so make sure your… -
Cable rigging in Max
I have a question on general ideas you guys may have on rigging cables and wires for gaming. Just an example, if I'm doing an animation of parts being pulled out of a computer, typically the cables and wires are kind of stuffed and wrapped in the case in weird positions and extend as you pull parts they are connected to… -
Re: Maya Channel Box Attributes (In world Space)
Another small question to tag onto the end of this... Probably just something I'll have to learn to live with in maya.. but I'll ask anyways. If I grab an ik controller(Left hand), and shift select ... the hips... Can I not rotate both of these objects around the manipulator (At the hips) while using the World Coordinates… -
Re: 3ds max constraints
You can try rigging tank tracks with bones which will give you rigid tracks. Quite a bit of work but he covers some wire parameters to help automate the animation, pretty cool stuff. http://www.3dluvr.com/content/article/136/1 You might want to switch the spline IK on the main arm to a IK limb solver and use bones, it will… -
Re: what is Maya's Biped?
creature tools i found to be one of the few good rig systems for maya,too. but personally i like zooCST more, you can easily apply it to your own non-bipedal skeletons and it has some nice body part locking features. it's far more flexible for setting up your own rig's as well. from what i gathered, fbik is in maya to aid…
