Ciao Simon,

In truth the spring operator already exsist from XSI 3.5...
You can apply it in this way...

'********************************** Begin Script
Set oColl = CreateObject("xsi.collection")

PickObject "Effector",, oEff

PickObject "Root",, oRoot

oColl.Add oEff

oColl.Add oRoot

Set oP = ApplyOp( "Spring" , oColl )(0)

InspectObj oP

'********************************** End Script

Limitation:

If you set SpringScale to 0 you will lost Spring
The springravity follow the -Y axis of chain root

Bye bye

 Hello all,

 

 I've been using the new tails in xsi 4 for a while now and think they are
fantastic! Lots of possibilities there for animation.

 However I was wondering if there is anyway to apply them to a chain of bones?
I know you can create them from a curve (I guess it just does a chain from
curve first). So is there any way to skip this first stage and get a "pick
bones" ?

 

 Regards,


 Si.
