I like the way the leaf that gets caught on the rock keeps fluttering.

Welcome back!

I'll put together a sample project for you, Steffen.

Typically we've animated walking on the toes by using regular IK and raising the heel. There's a substantial part of a regular walk where a foot is contacting the ground thru the toe only, so that's sonmething animators learn to manage. But i've not tried toe IK

I didn't know it was there but it sounds useful. Is there a "finger IK" also? Uses for this would be rare but I can imagine situations where the fingertips.toetips needed to be stuck somewhere and the hand/foot somewhat flexible above them. A hand moving that thing on a Ouija board... pressing piano keys... Rare but useful if you when you need it.

So you really don't need to snap a bone to a CP. I never understood what that was going to get.

When snap to surface works I can match the CPs pretty quickly. A Snap-to-CP tool would be ideal in this situation.

Then i think we should report some Snap to surface issues. It ought to work fine in modeling mode in a Pose window. I find it works much of the time but not 100%

I'm finding that if I try to adjust the position of a point that has been snapped it jumps to some place far off the surface and can't be snapped back again.

A little bit more success here... Apparently the CP you are moving needs to be in front of the surface you are snapping to? However, only about 1 out of 3 CPs successfully snaps on the first try.

I can't get Snap to Surface to work in a Pose window? Does it? The cursor occasionally displays the Snap to Surface icon but I'm not getting any snap.

Sorry to hear you've been sick, Rodney! I hope your recovery goes well.

Got 'em.

Send me the file in a private message. Those can have attachments.

My understanding is that zigntrack animates bones but it doesn't do the weighting for you... or does it?

That's quite good. I like that.

Nothing yet. Is it large? You may need to Dropbox it.

All I got were movies. Send me a model with an original mesh and a morphed version.

Yup, I now dimly recall that was your answer last time too. CD, not online. CD, not online.

Not the PDF... there was a fully interactive HTML version.

I asked about this before and Rodney found it but now I can't find it again... there was a version of the Techref, online, that had all the features of the CHM help in previous version of A:M.... search, index, chapter outline Where is that?

Could you post an example of an original and morphed mesh that I could experiment with?

Hey,Kevin... have you been using "Snap to Surface" when making these pose shapes?

The hesitation is unwanted, right?
