So i started making my own rig and at the end when i was testing my clavicles i realized they dont move the bones so i went back to try and fix them by attaching the bone to the control using orientation constraint but because i already finished the rig, the constraint does nothing. Is there a way around this? I really dont want to start all over again.
View 4 RepliesI know how to use Link Constraint but I've yet to find anything on linking an object to the biped mid animation. I have a world link and the link constraint applied to the weapon but I can't get the arm to move to continue the animation. It's like the arm is stuck. I know it probably pertains to the World Link but don't know how I should handle this.
View 7 Replies View Relatedis there a way to show and use the transformation and rotation values of an object after using an path constraint e.g., without using another EulerXYZ in the stack? I know, i could use an ExposeTM, but i'd like to avoid this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did the bones, but as you can see in the picture, the rotation not along the bone, is according to xyz, might be because i freeze them?
How can i rotate the bone accordingly? is there a way to rotate it local, and global like in Softimage?
I want to morph an object based upon a look at constraint.
That is, assume object (A) has a look at constraint target object (B).
I want to morph object (C) to (A), based upon movement of (B).
Is this possible ?
How to stop an object from flipping along a Path Constraint. I have a pflow source traveling along a circle path. Half way along the path it flips shooting the particles the other direction.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI made a simple image explanation.
1. I have an ARROW that I would only like to animate along the Local X position.
2. I have a helper that i would like to control the rotation of the ARROW.
3. Once i rotate the helper, i would like the ARROW to still go in the Local X position but in the direction its facing.
Does this require a script or can this be achieved another way?
I want an object to follow a spline path that is not planar.
I have to select the "follow" option in order to align the object to the path but I would like to maintain the object vertical.
i'm trying to generate a path constraint for text to create a Pf source to highlight the perimeter of the text. i have fused the text vertices together to generate a continuous path. however, when constraining the Pf source to the path it only follows one letter. any assistance would be grateful

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have problem with animating camera along a spline using path constraint. The spline has been spline normalized before added to the path constraint. Then I add besier floating to be able to slow down the camera.
The final camera seems to move not smoothly. This can notice especially when the camera are further away from the origin (0,0).
Some says it's because of Max's coordinates is not fine enough which can clearly proved when import autocad file which located very far from the origin into max and most vertex will be shifted from where it should be in Autocad.
The basic premise is that I've built a grid of 100x100 tiles and aim constrained them to a locator. Now I'm wondering if I could somehow attach an "area of effect" to the locator so that only the closest tiles aim at the locator and the rest lay unchanged?

I am trying to get the hand to write with a pencil. I pose the hand and fingers holding the pencil and constrain (parent constraint with offset) the pencil to the hand's wrist controller and freeze the pencil's translation attributes. When moving the wrist controller creating key frames or translating in the UI, the pencil does not follow the hand/fingers. There seems to be an offset with the pencil that get worse the farther I translate or rotate the wrist controller. I tried doing the same with just the fingers and getting the same result.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to know after rigging why should i orient joint in the attribute editor using the channel "joint orientation". Because i can easily fix the rotational axis after rotating the bone and freezing transformation.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn maya 2012 n 13...the end joint not matching to parent joint...
after creating leg joints are spine joints...we set the orientation of joints..but last joint wil put NONE in option box right....after applying this the end joint orientation still in world axis instead of parent joint..
is this bug are is there any other option(other then jointOrientaion in the joint attributes)..
I am designing a vertical axis wind turbine just for some practice (just started using Inventor) and everything was going smoothly until I tried to "animate" it spinning. First, I set up a work plane that goes through the center of the structure, and then I clicked angle constraint "explicit reference vector." After watching several youtube videos, I figured that I should click on the work plane, click on another reference point, and then click another point that would be orthogonal to those two (right?). Well after I choose the first point, Inventor will only allow me to choose the center axis as the second option (which I think should be the third option).

P.S I found the hierarchy panel to the right. does it have something to do with this? (I thought i remembered it from a tutorial i used a while ago...)
I fixed it with the hierarchy panel. I clicked pivot in the panel, then affect object only, then center to pivot. this makes the the object stick to the gizmo, bringing it back to default setting (at least im 99% sure that was default.) I thought i had been on the right track.
I have a crop tool preset I made in landscape orientation to size photos all the same for a data-merged book I do every year. With CS6 I noticed a new and annoying behavior; if I move the crop tool too far to the left, it automatically changes the crop area to portrait. If this is supposed to be a feature, it's a most unwelome one. If my crop preset is landscape, then that's what I want. I'd like to know if there is a way to disable this "feature".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to X6. My previous version of CorelDraw used to prompt me when I tried printing a landscape oriented file without changing my printer setup to landscape. This version just goes ahead and prints without matching the paper orientation. I can't tell you how much paper I've wasted!
Is there a setting in X6 that will cause the program to tell me when the project's orientation doesn't match that of my printer setup?
I have 17 printers installed. all but 2 use match orientation. The Canon W6400PG and the MP 5500 use printer orientation. Is there a way to change those 2 to match all the others that work just fine? The default is the HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL 5.

Has the been any changes to X6 since the post re: X5?

esp. regarding spriggig's comment?
I simply need to change the orientation for printing to a RIP and X6 does not allow this -- as previous CorelDraw versions DID allow.
X6 only wants to print in Protrait orientation only -- I NEED TO PRINT IN LANDSCAPE.
I was given an iges file of a 3d structure that needs to be layed out in 2d. I was able to import the iges file into inventor and then output a dwg file. I then tried to import this dwg file into autocad to draw the 2d layout, but I am unable to copy it into autocad in the correct orientation. I have the correct orientation when i produce the dwg files from inventor. how can i import them into a single dwg file at the correct orientation?
