someawfulbridge Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey, kids-- I'm slogging my way through the rigging tutorial in David Rogers' book. After you rig one leg, it says to copy the pelvis-down hierarchy, select those, enter scale mode, and scale them -100% in the x-axis to flip 'em. That's no problem with CPs, but all of the scale boxes for bones stay grayed out, and I can't figure out how to get them active. I can scale those bones using the scale manipulator in the modeling window, but obviously that is imprecise, and I can't flip them on the x-axis that way. What am I doing wrong? Thanksh-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanksh-- I show a similar method in the A Face Rigging Method tutorial, that might help. However, if you are using v13 or v14, you can just use Steffen Gross' "MirrorBone" plugin that you can find on this page. Hope that helps.

someawfulbridge Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Mirrorbone rocks--thanks! (No offense--it's only because of download times and other-workload that I didn't check your tut' first. I'm sure it's just as good, though!) Cheers!

Steffen did a fantastic job on it and his other plugins are just as good...well worth downloading all of them, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
