exporting Models with RBD 2005-04-25 - By Oz Adi
Back
I might be doing something wrong...
I tried the null spacer, but the envelope gets a double offset as well...
I got a cylinder, draw two bones inside it, make the cylinder an envelope,
get a box, places it on the area I want to have jiggle, select some points
of the cylinder,
then deform them by the cage box. I then get a null, constrain pose it to
the bone, make the box cage
it's child. now when I rotate the bone, the envelope gets an offset, exactly
twice as much as the rotation..
what am i doing wrong here ? :)
cheers,
Oz.
