Eric2575 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 In David Rogers book : AM 2002: A Complete Guide, David mentions locking bones in the relationship window. What does he mean by that and how is that done? I am attempting to add fan bones to a leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Eric, In the action/relationship window, simply select each bone and then click on the pad-lock icon that will most likely appear at the top of the right-hand margin on the screen. Alternatively, you can select a bone and go into it's properties and turn "Lock IK" from off to on. What this function does, is basically lock the origin of the bone to its current position, and only allow you to rotate it. You will find this feature particularly useful when testing what you are doing at the moment ... adding fan bones. You can rotate the lower leg as much as you like to test how your fan bone setup looks without the annoyance of having the upper leg bone being pulled around in all manner of directions. Hope this helps, Gerard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
