Holmes can we put the fix in on a allready riged model for the arms?

Oh yea that worked Rodney thank's ,what have I been missing edit Glad I got it sorted as them tuts are graet Rob .This will change the way I do things for sure

Thank's Holmes ,Ken as toads go thats a good looking toad

Sorry for being a bit wayward here but this is what I see

Now this might sound a bit ummm dopey but how and where do I get to your sig

Thats an excellant tut ,thank's I learned a lot there ,not least how to use the keying buttons

Oh thats got it ,Thank's Mark it worked a treat,now I can play

Now I got it I was trying to remember if there was a orient like on the fans and neant to check it but obviusly forgot ,so thank's .Yea still playing with wiaghting and smartskinn ,triede the euler limit as you sugesred but it gives striate arms lol not realy what I was after ,one thing though is there a way to make it so I can rotate the bicep with the rotator on the bicep bone as it don't move at the moment Thank's for taking a look it helped ME anyway edit That makes a lot of diferance to the elbow bending ,thank's Holmes(the orient like on the fans that is .just gotta re do the wights wich wernt good

The bicep seem ok if I keep the arm control sorta tight to the end of the arm ,just when I try to bend the elbow it gets twisty .Carying on anyway and doing smartskinn ,heres a test on the lower hips smartskinn_test.mov

I don't know if you would be kind enough to take a look at this model ,it might tell you ,or me something .The problem with the bicep rotating has me beat .Maybe the latest fixes you have done fixes it beuty_done_lightriged.zip

Got it done ,well close ,just need some smartslinn here and there .Got a bit of a prob with the bicep twisting but not bad,but this is dam quick to use ,anyway meet Lulu

I did a rerig on the saved model before running the riging ,but it still has my messing around in it with the left thigh bone .now I get the ik control on the right hand but not on the left in an action but it shows in the bones window.allso the ik controls for the legs just work the legs without bending the knee joint and the calf bones work like fk .Think I better start over.but can't see any reason for the ik missing on the left arm shame as it works well apart from that .Thank's for your post above but I think I messed up somewhere

I got a strange thing happening .I reriged the model I did before ,to get the latest rig .I had a misshap with making a fan bone and somehow deleated the left thigh bone.So I draged it from the bones in thge rigging prj and placed it back ,then deleated the bones under it (calf-foot and such)and named them as should be it all worked ok .But now I have done the install action thing and saved the model ,imported it into a new prj there is no hand control targets and the feet targets don't work properly ,theye don't bend the knees ,foot and toes are fine .Any Idea what I got wrong besides everything Iwould just like to know so that I don't make the mistake agaiI include a screenshot just in case anyone can see a problem from it

Thats interesting ,now I wish I was on a Mac

Heres a couple of short clips using the rig as was (first posting I think it work's prety well even without any fixes as yet back_30.mov left_30.mov

Thank's Holmes ,I think I will hang on for now and then rerig from a clean model as its working ok for me at the moment .See what others come up with and get any fixes cheers for a nice rig

Just finished puting the rig into a model and it IS easy and work's well ,thank's Holmes now can I update the rig without doing it all over ,is it easy enough to do ? or do I have to rerig

I love the one in the chair ,and that file plays ok but the other bump about one didn't ,strange You should make a short with that model it looks good and interesting Happy new year to you ,ohoo my head

Good looking charector ,did you animate him at all .Would like to see it edit How come I can't see these qt movies unless I dl them to my hd

Thats good ,I think puting 2 of them together is a good idea and works well

Thank's Paul tha\t answerd my question .I allways have problems with waighting and that sounds a good idea.Yours looks very good to me

Both dam good ,I would like some more explanation on the weighting on the second one ,seems interesting ,I like the lighting

Wow that makes a lot of differance,nice

I love watching that ,its nice to see your animating ,so smooth

I don't remember having probs in v13 ,Im on 15e but this is how I got it in .import image sequance . as targa files ,go to chory side view drag and drop image sequance into chory window then in the box that comes up pick layer ,you got it .it may be diferant in your version though edit ,just triede it and it allso works with .movie files
