Rigging Problem

[Montanto]

Hi all

 

After using AM for modeling for over two years I'm embarrased to say this is my first attempt at actual rigging.

 

Since I've primarily been using AM for background shots for a comic strip. This has been working great except that I hadn't been able to certain focal shots because the walls kept getting in the way. I finally decided to try and solve this problem by rigging the set so i could swing the walls out of the way of the camera whenever the need arose. (see attachment)

 

It mostly worked except at that the walls appear to be attached to the floor and distort it every time I move them.

 

Other than making the floor a separate model, is there anyway to fix this?

Rather than moving the wall, you could make it invisible. Make the wall a separate Group, make a new on/off Pose, select the Group and set the "Transparency" to 100% on the "Surface" of the Group and re-save your model. Then, you can just turn that Pose on to hide the wall.

 

Hope that helps.
