Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 28, 2020 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 28, 2020 In this thread I suggested that long-tail-like structures be contrived to have the spline ring in the middle of the bones... https://forums.hash.com/topic/49457-tip-for-tails-and-necks-snouts-tentacles/ However, that's not the only option. I made this PRJ to compare and contrast different CP weighting strategies. It has five Actions in it that put this tube structure through some representative and worst-case motions. You can scrub through the Actions' timelines and watch the shape changes. TailComparison002.prj From left to right in each action... 50/50 Fanbone. Each spline ring is 100% weighted to a fan bone that is 50/50 orient-like constrained between the bone above and below it. 50-50 CP weighting. Each ring is 50-50 weighted between the bones on each side of it. Hard attach. Each ring is 100% weighted to the bone that has its base at the joint Mid-bone. Each ring is 100% weighted to a bone but is placed in the middle of the bone rather than at a joint You can watch and listen to a discussion of this demo at the beginning of the September 26, 2020 Live Answer Time...
