Adding more contraints

[pixelmech]

Ok next question: Last night I got the TSM rig working on my Robot. It works pretty well, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I did my own head, since he has a head AND a helmet, and I need to correct the hierachy for that I think, but all is good.

 

Now, as to weighting and constraints - Can I go ahead and add weighting (I assume I can) and constraints (this I'm not sure) in addition to what has been set by TSM?

 

Also, I had a funny thing in the Chor window where the foot control became "disconnected" from its position at the bottom of the foot. This made it hard to position, any idea why? Sometimes is would jump back in a different view or zoom, sometimes it would not.

Glad things are working for you so far.

 

With regards to weighting, just be sure you don't accidentally weight to any of the control bones. You may want to do the weighting on your pre-TSM model, and then re-rig.

 

You can add constraints within limits -- but these limits should easily include anything you'd want to do. In general, if a bone already has constraints on it, don't constrain it to anything else. On the other hand, constraining things to it is probably fine. If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

 

This is the first I've heard of moving feet. Is it just one foot, or both? And have you tried hitting spacebar? If that doesn't help, please send me your file, and I'll see if I can figure it out.

 

thanks,
