strohbehn Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I'm touching up a shoulder joint and want to add a smartskin to control outer-shoulder CP position when the arm is straight down. The position of the arm (and therefore all arm bones) is controlled by a hand null. When I go into the smartskin relationship window (for the bicep bone) I cannot move this hand null to get the arm into the down position to be able to apply the smartskin. Do I have to add the smartskin to the bicep bone prior to all arm rigging to get this to work? Thanks for any help. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 If you go into an action and move the arm to the position you want using the null, then you can right click on the shoulder bone to smartskin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strohbehn Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Beautiful, Ken!!! Worked like charm the first try. Thanks for the quick reply. I think it's time to go back and review some of the basics. I didn't remember that you could start the smartskinning process from an action window.

amarillospider Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Otherwise you could open the triangle by your model name and turn off the pose constraining the arm to the null, then make the smartskin, then turn it back on. -Alonso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
