Have you had a look at the SPDL Simon? I dont have a chain with a spring on in
front of me, but you may well be able to save a copy of the SPD and re-name the
edited one so that when you apply the opp, it uses the edited one rather than
the origional...make sence?

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.
