I remember seeing a tutorial ages ago.... ...and after a bit of digging it looks like it was 'PoseBalls' by Mike Malinowski (twas 3D world 136, apparently). Looks like he's got a version of it up on http://www.softmonkey.org/ . Looks like he's been a good chap and commented it all pretty well.
I can't say I've had any luck with the multiple constraints with slider method, personally. Whichever way round I try the half-arsed Softimage evaluation doesn't like it. Maybe there's a special order/technique for it which eluded me. I can't say I trust the Pivot Kinematics either so this PoseBalls thing has been on my 'must deconstruct and work out' list for about 2 years now! Alas I've never gotten round to it so I have to credit Mike instead. :) On 12 October 2012 10:41, Szabolcs Matefy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys,**** > > ** ** > > I need a solution for “multiple pivots”**** > > ** ** > > At this moment my idea is to have all the pivots pose constraining the > object in question, and a slider activates which pivot is active.
