Biasing an averave..

Biasing an averave..

If you constrain the orientation of this 3rd bone to the other 2 the blend
of the second constrain is going to act exactly like a bias, with 0.5
averaging and anything below or over 0.5 moving toward one or the other
bone.



If constrains are not an option you are then looking forward to scripted
operators and slerping quaternions.

Subject: Biasing an averave..



Afternoon all,



Great to see the new features in 4, soooo looking forward to owning a
copy... anyways...



I'm trying to create a Bias slider for an average of the z angle of 2 bones
onto a third.



This makes the Z angle of Bone C sit in the middle of bones A and B, I need
to find a way of biasing that average through a slider.



I hope I am having a dumb day and the answer is staring me in the face!



Cheers all



Jamie
