TSM2: Model won't rig :(

[pixelmech]

Been playing with TSM and I did my first rig. I did a horrible job setting the CPs but I could see how it would work.

 

I went back to an earlier version of the file and started all over. I ran the rigging process and opened a Chor window.

 

This time, none of the controls do anything except the body control. It's almost like being in bones mode in the modeling window - the bones move but not the model. I'm in the Chor window in skeletal mode.

 

Anyone have any ideas? All the CPs were assigned and I ran the rigger, but nothing except the body works.

Is your TSM constraints pose on?

I'm not sure what you mean, can you elaborate? I don't think I did anything different, I followed the HTML manual (I thought) each time...

It's the last step, so don't worry, you don't have to redo anything. With your choreography window open and your model selected, check your "Pose Sliders" window. (If you don't see it, you can turn it on in the "View" menu.) The first pose in this window should be "TSM constraints." It probably says "not set" next to it, in gray letters. This is the pose that contains all of the constraints that make TSM work -- without them, the control bones you're trying to use don't actually control anything. Click on the "not set" so it turns into a blue "ON," and you should be good to go.

Ahhh ok - and I just watched the video again and saw him do that! I'll try that when I get home - thanks
