Paul Forwood Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 As a brand new user of TSM2 I am probably going to have a few questions about what I can and can't do so to avoid hasseling the Anzovin crew at this busy time I am posting here to hopefully gain some insight from experienced users. Question: When fitting a skeleton to a model is it essential to only use the Scale (S) and Move (M) commands or can you click and drag a bone as normal? The documentation only mentions the S and M commands so I am assuming that I sould not deviate from that practice but I would like to get that straight incase it leads to a problem in the rig further down the setup procedure. Thank you for any enlightenment. Paul Forwood Quote
KenH Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 S and "N" allow you to scale and move the bone with it's children. Of course, you can just grab the ends of the bone and move them, but take care not to mess up the relationship with it's children. Follow how Raf does it in the video and you should be fine. Quote

KenH Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 The very last link on this page: http://www.anzovin.com/setupmachine/setupmachineam.html Quote
Paul Forwood Posted September 20, 2004 Author Posted September 20, 2004 That link is broken. It redirects to some other web site. I'll just carry on experimenting I guess. Thanks Quote
KenH Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Actually, it's not directing to the page I want.... On the above page click on Anzovin Studio Store link. Then click the last link of that page. Quote
Morgan Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Direct link to Raf's tutorial. Generally, you shouldn't have any problems with moving individual bones around the usual way -- it's just often more convenient to manipulate bone chains with the move/scale tools. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll make sure that's clarified in the next version of the manual. -Morgan Quote
Paul Forwood Posted September 21, 2004 Author Posted September 21, 2004 Thanks for the replies and for the link. Quote
anzovin Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 One thing we're working on is updating the TSM web pages--right now they are old, old, old, with bad links galore. I'll keep you all posted. Look for all important links and info also to appear in this forum. --Steve Anzovin Studio Quote
Far Star Productions Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 What do you suggest I do to get the new set up machine rig into models that already have the old set up machine rig in it? Quote
