AMSpector Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hi, Can someone point the way to enabling the Neck and Finger bones for the 2008 Rig? I can see them in Bones Mode, but they're not there in an Action. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 24, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 24, 2008 look in your pose folders for a make visible on/off switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMSpector Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Turning "Head_Controller" off enabled the "Neck_Geom", but is that a good thing? See screenshot. Also, I can't find an equivalent pose folder to enable the finger bones, the ones shown below do not seem to do the trick. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMSpector Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Ahhh.... never mind about the fingers, I was being an idiot. The controls were in there: But what about turning off the "Head_Controller", will that cause problems somehow? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 24, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 24, 2008 mtpeak is the authority on that rig, but I don't think the neck geo bone is intended to be animated directly. I believe it follows the head control so you don't have to key the neck bone at all. (Translate the head bone to move the neck) The head is two controls in one.

mtpeak2 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Turning OFF the head controller puts the head and neck in FK mode. Turning OFF all the spine poses, IK legs and arms, and showing the FK fingers/thumbs will put the whole rig in FK. The Geom bones are the FK setup, this is the mode you want to use to setup any smartskin you want to do. All Geom bones can be animated directly if desired.

AMSpector Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 LOL... I didn't know I could translate the neck that way, very cool! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
