IK (2)

[moss]

Hi,
I'm doing IK for a human but when I move the skeleton of the leg, part of the other leg moves with it. My human was built with legs not for enough apart. In Maya, it's possible to have IK affect only certain parts of the object by painting it. Is there a similar feature in Soft?

By the way, I'm using 3.9.

You can reassign points by simply tagging them and then using:

1. Skin/Envelope Assignment/Assignmanually. Then select the bone you want the points to associate with.

2. You will probably also want to use Skin/EnvelopeAssignment/ShowVerticies and ColorJoint. This will change the color of your points so they show what bone they are associated with. If you need more colors, then use Color joint to change the color of a bone, so the points associated with it change.

Hope this helps,
Urp

You can also use bounding models to specify an area in which the bone affects.
Go to Skin> Envelope Assignment> Bounding Model> Inclusive, and click on the bone with whichever button, depending on the desired shape of the model. I think its best to use a cube. Scale and transform this model over the parts of the mesh you want the bone to influence. You can overlap the models and this will blend the assignment. Its still bloody tricky to get realistic joints and if anyone other than my good friend Urp can help with either of my posts then I would be very greatful (plug).

Thanks Urp and Knickknack. It works great.
