mtpeak2 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Rotate the white leg install in the Y axis. (front view). There was no need to rotate the white leg install bones on the X and Z axis. NOTE: I scaled the white leg install bones first to get them closer to scale. See next post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeetman Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Mark, I'm doing each step as instructed but my model doesn't look like yours in the feet bone area. Did I do something wrong? Here's what my screen looks like. Note the size and positions of the foot and toe bone (I think thats what they are anyway). George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Reload A:M and see if you still have a problem with translating the toe install bones or try hitting the space bar to update the screen. I have no problem on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeetman Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 OK I got it working but my numbers don't match your's exactly to get the same positioning as in your pics. I take it that's OK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 There were changes to the rig after I did these screen grabs, so yes the numbers may not match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwknox Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 At this point, I realized that I has the rotate snap angle set to 10. I set it back to 1 which is giving me much finer control. I may set it to 0 at a later point. Phil EDIT: Now that I play with it a bit. I don't think that snap angle has anything to do with it. I am clicking beside the pose slider instead of on it. It is making the slider jump. So ignore this goffy idea. I am a sloppy clicker. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypoissant Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Just to mention that the translate_white_leg_install_bone_Y_axis maximum value of 1200 is not high enough to position the hips joint wherei should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having the same issue and am proceeding with JD's hips a bit low. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Are scaling the base bone in STEP 1 correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypoissant Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yes. It is scaled up to the top of the head. I guess I could scale it a little more and compensate later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Are you sure you are looking at the right bone when scaling the base bone? The head bone sticks up higher than the base bone. (This is going to be fixed in the next update) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypoissant Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ah! OK. I'll check that. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This is going to be fixed in the next update) I was either looking at the wrong bone or I didn't get my position saved properly. Back from step six or seven where the cheeks wont reach Arrrr. I assumed that I had done it right when you mentioned it. Lesson learned. (sheepish glances) Thank you for all your hard work and attention to detial. This system rocks.
