I started out trying to edit the phoneme relationship itself, but then decided that I needed to alter the mouth constraints. However I'm at a loss as to whether I should edit the Mouth Corner Constraints, or the Face Control Limits. But I'm leery about altering any of this stuff, I know it will come back to bite me.

Then I wondered if I should just animate the cp's in the O phoneme itself and not mess with the bones. I think ultimately this would be the easiest fix. Anyone have any advice or opinions on this?]]> Gerry Gerry Mon, 14 May 2012 07:42:53 -0700 41648 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41642 Roger NancyGormezano Sat, 12 May 2012 20:27:16 -0700 41642 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41599
The first casualty was the Lower Hip bone which died altogether on me, followed a little time later by the Neck bone randomly jumping out of sync with the head bone.

At first I was sort of able to work around these but now the neck thing is happening nearly every time I rotate the head.
Whilst it is possible to continue without using the Lower Hip bone, its pretty much impossible to animate without having control of the neck.

I must say though that if I open up a new Action or Chor using the self same model it works just fine Just not in the Rear Window Chor where I need it to work

Can this be fixed whist continuing?
Here's a shot of the neck issue for the curios;

Also, if I mirror the right side leg bones to the left, do the constraints automatically mirror along w/ the bones or do I need to do that separately?

One other thing I'm concerned about - I noticed that my foot, along with the foot controls, did not mirror when I used mirrorbones.
I think it is because it was not a child of the calf. If I want all that to mirror, do I need to make those items a child of the calf and then drag them back to their original position in the hierarchy?]]> Roger robcat2075 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:22:18 -0700 41594 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41534
Is there a "from the beginning" tut anywhere on how to construct a rig from the ground up?

thanks

I'm working on cleaning up the rigging on my penguin so I can hopefully finally start doing some test animations with her.

The one ring in that model, the one between the ring that makes up the beginning of the neck and the one that makes up the shoulders, would I benefit from removing that completely?
It is not really a critical ring but more a leftover from my modeling process. I'm not sure it needs to be there, I guess I can try removing it and see what happens.]]> Roger robcat2075 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:52:54 -0700 41489 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41384
Is it possible to hide a distortion box?
I have attached some bones to a distortion box and would like to see only the bones and not the distortion box when animating.

thanks,

I'm installing TSM2 and am having some problems. I was able to scale the bones properly so they are closer to the size they should be, but when I try to translate the bones, I am not free to move them in any direction. The only want to move left or right (if I'm in the front view) or diagonally if I am in one of the side views. I don't know what's going on here, I select the body bone and then hit "n" to translate, try to move and then get this limited movement.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I am in bones mode and don't have magnet or mirror mode toggled on.]]> Roger Roger Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:30:56 -0700 41428 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41421
hand animation takes a very long time and to get games developed in a timely fashion with the small team I'm working with is a nightmare.

Here is a video of RAW mocap data that has been linked to the bones of a model in A:M

The motion capture has had no cleanup done to it what so ever.

The model is not mine, it was created and released for free for non-commercial use by Jeff Lew (Thank you Jeff for his awesome animation tutorials).

You may need either XviD codec or DivX codec to view it.

My goal was to translate one null(NULL 2) to a second null(NULL 1) using the "Translate to" constraint. But I also want the child null to remain in it's original place. So when I apply the "translate to" constraint I make sure the "Compensate button" is pressed on.

However.....Null 2 moves to the position of null 1 even though compensate mode was on.


I tried this in an On/Off pose.

Anyone else get that result?]]> detbear robcat2075 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:13:37 -0700 41406 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41404 However when the model containing this setup is opened in a Chor this constraint no longer works. How should I be doing this?]]> markw markw Mon, 19 Mar 2012 07:01:25 -0700 41404 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41393 What am I doing wrong?

I forgot how to move full branch of bones in a bones mode?
(like if you would like to place all bones in left arm move 10 inches downwards)

I really hope someone could help me.
Thank you in advance :-)

I have some % pose sliders set up on a character. I want to create a Null or Nulls to control these sliders by
translating the null side to side & up/ down.

Does anyone have a guide to get started doing that?

Thanks so much.

See below, I walked the character forward but when I click on choreography mode as oppse to Skeletal mode you can see the model bone is no longer center.

This might be a stupid question, but doing a walk this way looks smooth and fantastic and would rather deal with it than have to use walk cycles.]]> Sean delgatto mtpeak2 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:45:13 -0800 41073 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41166 John Bigboote Xtaz Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:29:45 -0800 41166 http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41165 Gerry Gerry Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:48:50 -0800 41165
