Wow ! great thing thanks Adam.



Is this documented somewhere and does this means XSI has other goodies
like this that just need a little line to show off ??

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...

Japanese :( If youi can translate it I'd like to read it lol...



there is also an addon at http://www.cmtools.fr.vu/ that is very
effective



Hope it helps

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
