Hi again,

Been playing with this script, and as far as I can tell it only allows
gravity to by down the -y right? Any way to change this to +y?

Regards,

Simon.

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.
