3ds Max Orientation Constraint Bug Open File workaround?
You know that visual bug with Orientation constraints on bones attached to controller objects? Even if you attempt local/world offset on/off, opening the file the bones pivot has been oriented differently. (Say the bones pivot is at an 15 degree angle, it pops it to 0) Is there a way around this other than having an… -
Re: Rigging a flexible weapon bone
Hey Rmunday, weapons are particularly challenging in 3d, as I'm sure you've discovered. I've played around with a lot of different solutions, but having it game ready adds a whole different level of complexity. Below is a solution where the sword is pinned to either the world or shealth, and the sword drives the IK hand… -
[Maya][Rigging] other ways of getting control and joint alignment to match?
Hi, I'm curious if anyone has other methods of accomplishing, or explaining, the "Make The Control And Joint Internal Axes Match Up So The Joint Doesn't Flip Out When You Orient Constraint" techniques. To prevent the problem when, for example, making FK controls for wrists, elbows, shoulders, etc, where the orient… -
Evenly distribute deformation across IK constraint? (rigging leaf spring)
Is there any way to evenly distribute how much each individual bone in an IK constraint rotates? The effect I am going for is a series of bones of a fixed length, arranged along the arc of a circle. The bones should straighten out as the spring is flexed, but I want them to still follow the arc of a circle, albeit one with… -
Re: 3ds Max scene scale adjustments
Random snapping tip: Make sure your snapping is contrained to axis contraints. its in the snapping options. That makes snapping a joy to use. just grab a axis constraint and drag to the grid/vertex point to want to snap to and it does it for that axis(s) -
maya - ncloth - path constrain - mash???????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi! I'm having huge problems creating a scene in maya: I have to create an animation of a set of sheets of paper that runs along a curve around an object like a kind of magic. Is there anybody who could tell me what kind of pipeline I have to adopt or who could give me some advice on how to approach to the problem? For now… -
Zbrush: constraining transformations to Z axis, while still being able to use alphas
Wondering if there was a way to make tiling highpoly meshes that are guaranteed straight edges, and without having to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IhTQVIZIeg Because it seems really clunky, and also because the edge deviates anyway if you're not sculpting on the flat surface. Any help would be greatly… -
Orienting objects to others in maya
I've been using maya for a while now and it's an amazingly powerful tool especially for animation. However I can't seem to find any tool in maya that lets me orient objects to others. I'm not talking about the orient constraint since I don't wat to constain anything. I just want to make sure two objects are perfectly… -
Re: Making objects follow a Conveyor Belt?
FYI, you can add extra targets to a constraint at any time, just constrain as usual and maya adds them to an existing constraint node. I'm going to guess that you set the constraint from your object dropper and place3dTexture to the object to be dropped at the same time, so the offset for the place3d is based on wherever… -
Re: Questions about Biped
The link constraint is weird. It takes effect on the frame after you set it. An alternative to the link constraint is to position and orient constrain the object and animate the constraint weighting. The only problem with this, unlike the link constraint, is that you can't move the helper, it's just stuck to the target.
