I find it best to imagine the tail of the bone as a pin in the facial skin (ow). Mostly, you place them in the center of joints, right? In the elbow, in the knee.īut sometimes it is unclear where the bones really go. This is obvious, right? But sometimes it’s not clear where to place bones to get the rig to move the way you want. Understanding Bone Arcs for Rigging and Animatingīones rotate from their Head (the base or starting point of the bone). In the example, the elbow is posed (or else you wouldn’t see anything happen). I’m referring to the position of the bone when it is UN-posed. NOTE: I’m going to talk about Lateral movement (across the bone, like the X or Z axis) and Axial movement (along the length of the bone, like it’s Y axis).

What is important is how to MOVE the rotation point to correct the bending of the mesh. Instead, it uses bend zones, represented by the red and green lines. Poser also doesn’t use weight paint (if it can help it). The blue lines represent where bones would be. Examine the image of an elbow joint, below.įirstly, Poser doesn’t have bones. Smugly, Poser allows us to do this, no problem.
In fact, you MUST UNBIND your mesh before editing the bones! Remember this, foolish mortal, or pay the price in irredeemably screwed up meshes!! Now I want to look at regular, long-limb joints, and how their positioning affects the bending of the mesh.īlender does not allow us to edit the bones while viewing the posed mesh. In our last episode, we looked at creating linear(ish) movement with rotational joints. Understanding the Effect of Positioning the Joint Rotation Point (Bone Head) THIS, however, can help with that: Tapple’s Avatar Testing and Visualization Kit. or to know which bone is what, cuz they’re not labelled. You can see this is really a wreck, the length of the bone sticks remain at default size, no matter how the rig squashes/stretches them, they don’t necessarily point in the direction the rig has them going, and there’s no way to hide/show different bone groups and stuff. also for finding out exactly what bone is moving, on an animation you’re TRYING to lock to STOP moving.Īnd for seeing if bones got put out of place by a deformer.Ĭolours: I don’t have an official source for this, but i THINK… Red = a joint moved by the rig, and Green/Grey = a joint not controlled by a rig (default avatar joint locations). Good for seeing if something is animating, but you just don’t SEE it animating, because you don’t have a tail/wings/hinds or whatever. Show Bones: shows a mess of sticks where your bone joints are the * is new, i’m not sure what that means. (att) means it’s playing from an attachment. Good for finding out WTF is messing up your animations, and if they ARE playing, just overriden by something else. You can also see when animations start and stop, and when (if) they move up and down in the stack. but even more helpfully, shows what priority they are. Mainly for animation creators who are REALLY too obsessed with every frame being right… :X but allows you to see what the animations are doing, very slowly, so you can catch it all.Īnimation Info: shows your animation stack over your head, in floating textĪ lot of times it only shows UUIDs, unless you’re also editing the object that contains the animations. but now the developer menu is separate from the advanced menu, and firestorm says the shortcut for that is Ctrl-Alt-Q. If you don’t have these up, the shortcut is (or at least used to be) Ctrl-Alt-Shift-D. Save your work before attempting upgrading your rigs.Using the Developer Tools to Check Animations.There’s no guarantee rigs created in previous Blender versions will work correctly. Compatibility is broken for this release.When using the add-on Rigify, please note:.Rigs created in Blender 2.77 may still work.Rigs created in Blender 2.78 may not be compatible with 2.79.During the 2.78 series: IK snapping was partly broken.Changes to IK snapping may affect rigs that use non-uniform IK scaling.The text color contained in a layout.box() is now defined in User Preferences » Themes » User Interface » Box section.Some Interface Themes may need to be reloaded to work properly.
blend files in Blender 2.78c and earlier may crash. blend files can’t be opened in earlier versions of Blender.
