mtpeak2 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Use an euler limit constraint to limit the rotation using the min/max settings within the constraint. In a pose, action or chor, right click on the bone you want to limit and select new constraint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the bone, then NewConstraint>Euler limits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtpeak2 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 No. You do it in a pose to make it permanent. Once the pose is created, turn the pose ON in the models user properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir fen the usa Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 here i have used smart skin mode and applied the euler constraint. you can see my settings. and in the action window the arm bone is holding. i assume that if its working in the action window then maybe it will be ok in a chor. will have to test. being really ignorant when it comes to rigging i hope this is at least one proper method to go about it....your advice would be welcome.
