Mr. Jaqe Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hello dudes and dudets, the time has come for me to show Lottar, bones rig'd and not at all finnished. I have no idea how CP weighting works, so I'll have to look into that, links/winks/hints are very welcome. All c&c's are very welcome.

KenH Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 You might want to bring his feet up to the x axis so he'll be properly on the ground when you bring him into a chor. You can do it with bones and the mesh will follow: Select the root bone Press N Hold Control Move the root bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 I didn't notice that... I have, however, drop'd him in chor before, but he has been dropped on the ground, not above and not under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Guys? Hello? Kinda need some 'elp here! Bone positioning? CP assignment? A cup of coffee? Anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniMattor Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I don't have any coffee for you, but I'd say don't use CP weights. (this is all my personal opinion): I think the traditional fanbones/ smartskin is still a very good way to go, and you probably have better control of what the mesh looks like as it deforms. Granted, if you are going to put scales on a snake or something like in the tuts about cp weighting, it is good. But for plain old characters, Smartskin and a few fan bones work wonders. (besides, I still can't get weighting to do anything worth while!) good luck on your boning! matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Thank you. I actually wasn't expecting any replies after so many days of silence. I have added smartskin to some of my bones, but I've started to spend some time with my nose in anatopmy book, to check that everything moves correctly. This will take time...
