sir fen the usa

okay im getting it. but if i want it to be permanent? im trying it in smart skin mode and im getting a bit of a result. is this correct to do in smart skin mode?

whats the easiest way to limit bone rotation. i see something about euler but not sure where or how to apply. am i to do it in smart skin mode?

is it possible to move a group of bones together? at the moment it seems i can only resize a grp working from the parent bone.

yes i could do that no problem. i just like to do it this way for some reason. call me crazy..lol

okay so i tried zeroing out the offsets and it seems to have snapped it in position. is this correct? i dont remember having to have to do that.

okay so iv'e seen this before but im not getting it. i have 5 cameras. i want camera 6 to be the master or render master. i tried translate to and orient like camera 6 to other cameras but it does not really snap to those views. am i forgeting something? ive done this before so i know it works great...any ideas?

okay i got it. two actions layered works great. just had to adjust the red bars......i used the option to blend, i assume that's correct?

okay yes it did

before i try this, is it possible to have two actions run together? i want to use a talk action with a walk action layered together. i tried using blending but it did not seem to work...

oh damn nevermind. i had my model locked.......@#$%@#$%

for some reason i can only auto assign. i cant seem to select CP to bones myself. any ideas? holiday_card_08_1.prj

i made this a long time ago and thought it would be nice to share. i used the AM model, not sure if its bush jr or senior. anyways its a fun adventure. it was the beginning of a long love of AM.

i use it all the time. it cost 100.00 but well worth it. there are several ways to work it. you have to start by making a decal which then you can paint on. here is the link, check it out. http://3dpainter.com/

nevermind i found it. it all works well and i thank you. i was about to go nuts. you saved me from a squirrelly conundrum.

i dont seem to be able to find legs in user properties. can you guide me further?

im using the shaggy rig on a model i made. in both the shaggy model and mine, i can't change or add smart skin to lets say the thigh bone. when i try the bone dissapears and all i see is the right foot target. you can't add smart skin to the target and in smart skin mode the target node is frozen so i can't bend the knee and then adjust the skin. i see on shaggy they did add smart skin to all the leg bones. how did they do it?

shortcut to fly tab: there seems to be no repeat option. how do i repeat ? version 15.b

there seems to be no setting here and i was wondering if the avi dv export no compression is progressive or lower field non progressive?

oh know do i feel stupid. i was not moving the poses in the chor or action model shortcut...... it all works as normal all though i feel abby normal after that mistake...

here is a video of what im doing pose.mov

does not work weather its on or off. should i get a key frame in my timeline when i make a pose move?

this is crazy. all of a sudden i cant make a pose work in chor or actions. well they work meaning i move the slider and i get the pose movement but it does not seem to key start and finish of the pose. say i start the pose at 0 advance to 10sec and move the pose slider. play and nothing. i must have missed a step abling the pose to key start and key finish. any ideas?

well i figured out what was happening. my secound action was just a 20 frame motion of the butterfly sitting still and just flapping the wings. so i increased the repeat from 1 to 100 and the red bar stretched out for that action and all looks great.

ive been able to follow the path ease tut no problems. i cant seem to make this one work for me. i put in the two actions and set the action ins and outs on the timeline. then i set the ease point to 100 and poof the secound action disappears. i can find it and i try to stretch it out but the action is still. any ideas what im doing wrong?

ive been using glow for a bit and it only has an on or off. my model tends to glow too bright. is there some way to control this?
