TSM constraints buckle my knees & bend my back!

[cat]

I have a simple tubular biped character. After rigging when I turn on TSM constraints, my character's knees buckle (form like an arch shape), and his back bends forward to a horizontal position. It's like he ages 100 years.

I've tried several different intermediate bones, constraints, etc. but it keeps happening.

 

The rig animates beautifully apart from that. HELP! I wonder if this is how I'm going look by the time I get the hang of this...

Better send your rig to Raf for examination.

Cat,

 

Sorry about that -- Raf sent me your file, and it sounds like you must be running a buggy version of TSM2. If you download and install the new version it should work fine. Just make sure you've closed A:M before running the installer.

 

Neat character, by the way!

Yeah you think so?? Thanks. Only my 2nd model in AM and animates so easily. My first model was my standard poodle - life like and very cool. I've lots of stories to tell about him but trying to rig and animate a complex model straight off? AhAh.

Thanks,

cat.
