thefreshestever Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 hi @ all, i´ve tried to rig a character with tsm2 the first time, everything worked fine and i was very impressed how easy it is to install... but when i made an action to test it, my character didn´t move at all... the bones moved, but the character didn´t... (yes, i´ve assigned cps ..) only my additional bones made cps move, eyes and eyelids... i´m using v15, can it be that it only does work properly with older versions of a:m since the development was discontinued before v15??? thanks ahead....

Admin Rodney Posted June 16, 2008 Admin Share Posted June 16, 2008 Its been awhile but I think I remember... The TSM rig must be activated. There is a constraint setting under User Properties that must be toggled to 'On'. I hope this is your problem. I know it threw me for a loop the first time I used a character with TSM rig installed. My thought at the time was 'why not leave that setting toggled 'On' from the start'. There was some reason that wasn't optimum as I recall. Edit: The first TSM rigged character I loaded had the constraints already on. Maybe my poor memory at work here but perhaps still worth looking at the settings...

thefreshestever Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 thanks rodney... that was the problem... even though i have a bunch of "error loading string" named folders in my relationships-folder it works now... they should have mentioned it in the manual at least, no way i would have figured it out by myself...

Admin Rodney Posted June 16, 2008 Admin Share Posted June 16, 2008 they should have mentioned it in the manual at least, no way i would have figured it out by myself... Same thing I thought several years ago when TSM2 was first released. Once you encounter the problem/solution though its easy to remember isn't it? To someone as use to rigging as Raf Anzovin and crew it may not have occurred them that others might not immediate see the answer. But... I gotta tell you... it sure had me stumped! So like you I asked here in the forum and it wasn't long before I got the answer. even though i have a bunch of "error loading string" named folders in my relationships-folder it works now... I'm under the impression you can safely delete those but... um... save a backup first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 16, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 16, 2008 It is mentioned in the manual under "IMPORTANT NOTES" * IMPORTANT! Make sure that the TSM Constraints pose is turned on before you begin animating. You can save your character with "TSM Constraints ON" so you don't have to turn it on again. Most of the String Errors will disappear after you save your character, restart A:M and reload the character. A:M is having trouble displaying the word "relationship" in some spots. That's an A:M problem, not really a TSM2 problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It's really easy to save the model with the constraint on. Just open the User Properties section of the model in the PWS and change it to ON. Then right-click and chose "Constant" from the pop-up menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefreshestever Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 thanks to all... yeah after reopening my project all the error-named folders were gone... i really like how tsm works, but i´m missing some nulls for animating comfort.. i´ll try to add some, can´t be that hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
