Hello Ladies and gets and fine rigging folk,
Is there a way to specify where the actual joints get created in any of the “chain” components?
this is what my guide looks like and i would like the joints to be where the actual guide “nodes” are.
but when i generate the chain i get this :
all the different chain variants give somewhat different results but there is just no way to get what i want. or unless I’m approaching this the wrong way or using the tool badly?
Thanks.
Trying to bump this post in hopes of an answer. Thank you.
Well, I don’t know an answer to your question.
But sometimes I just make basic chains out of control_01 nodes, and then use post scripts to rig up something fancy like a ribbon to those controls. But that’s just the way I work. If I get stuck on a component’s behaviour, I just script my way around it and move on.
Especially for really specific mechanical/prop stuff. Most of the components seem to be designed with biped/quadruped characters in mind.
I am afraid there is not something that you can do with all components. It depends on the component design. In many cases, the joint position is parametric based on a set of rules. For example the name of division between 2 points
