detbear Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey all..... I've already run TSM builder and flipper on a character and now I'm adding fan bones before running TSM rigger. My question is......Will adding a bunch of fan bones mess the TSM Rigger up? Is there a naming convention to avoid/ look out for as far as naming the fan bones go? Thanks so much...

William if you put the fan bones in first, flipper will mirror them for you! Rigger will ignore everything besides TSM bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detbear Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks William, Yeah....you're right about that.....I'm having to add the fan bones one side at a time because I'm experimenting with a new idea/scheme for using fans. My hope is to reduce the amount of weighting/ smartskin byusing a rediculous amount of fan bones. This model has more cps than other characters.... and thus very time consuming to go cp to cp. Fan bones are more easy for me to wrangle it all in. For you masters out there, I'm sure there's a better way....but for me....this is working out ok. So far, the results are much better than I even thought. But we shall see. William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 28, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 28, 2012 I think Steffen Gross' flipper will not only flip your fan bones but mirror the constraints and CP weighting. I've tended to use that instead of the TSMFlipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detbear Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Robert, You're so right man.....The copy cp weighting and such is very cool. It might be worth trying to run that at some point here. Doesn't work on smartskin if I recall but wooow.....what a time saver.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 28, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 28, 2012 Doesn't work on smartskin if I recall but wooow.....what a time saver. there is a "Mirror All Smartskin" built into A:M already... in the Model window. I recall it behaving oddly several years ago but I think it is fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detbear Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah... I hope it's been fixed. Another golden tool in the A:M suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
