Issues with Boneless Thom


number

Recommended Posts

I've followed the tutorial online for adding the skeleton to boneless thom. All control points assigned, but I've got two issues.

 

1. Using the IK Arm Setup to ON to set the hand targets, I get the right arm in the bent position

2. When using the resolute walk action, the legs are turned inside out.

 

Any help appreciated.

Those Rig>Setup poses are a bit tricky.

 

If you move the arm, and then turn IK Arm Setup ON, then you get what you are describing. Similarly if you move the feet, and then change the IK Legs pose, you get odd things happening.

 

You could try a new action (or Action Menu > Clear), and leave those rig poses alone and see what happens.

It looks like your "Right Thigh Orient" and "Left Thigh Orient" bones might not be in the right position since your thigh and calf bones are flipping backwards...I would check on those. Also, make sure they are parented correctly...as children of the "Right Leg Hinge" and "Left Leg Hinge" bones.

 

For the arms, check the positioning of the "Right Bicep Orient" and "Left Bicep Orient" bones.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks for all of the prompt responses.

 

Good advice on the leg orientation. The LEFT and RIGHT LEG HINGES handles needed to be oriented to the rear of the model. I had them going forward

 

I must of rotated forward the handles forward. I must of misheard the video tutorial.

 

One more to go!
