Back
A quick easy way to use the spring function is
Draw a single bone 2D chain
Select Effector,
SHIFT Sel Root
Run the following
ApplyOp "Spring" , ,2
Move the root to see the lag effect on the effector
To control the Spring properties
Select the end effector and open up a ppg on its Global Transform
Lots o controls
the values in the PPG are veeerrrry sensitive
I don't know why it isn't exposed.... maybe it wasn't quite finished..
But it works well, especially chaining them together.

There is a built-in spring operator in XSI since v3.0. it is well hidden and
doesn't show up in a menu, but it's there.
mmh I guess that wasn't particularly helpfull, now was it...

Subject: spring function ?
Hi all.
I need to make a sort of spring-like motion, like following another
object with an adjustable delay and mass, damping, restore force, etc.
Does this exists somewhere as a tool or script ?
Any idea ?
Thanks
jm
