Another Smart Bone Question

Post by Hans Rickheit »

Again, thank you for your quick reply and help with the last question. Now,i have another.

I've already given set the bone constraints for each bone. My problem is that the bone constraints aren't in effect when I use the "Transform Bone" Tool when I try to make adjustments in Smart Bones/ Is there a way to have the bone constraints work while in Smart Bones mode?

It should work already, except on frame 0 where you want to be able to rotate the bone along with the bone constraints. Move to frame 1 and see that the Transform Bone tool moves the bone within the defined bone constraints.

That is precisely the problem, it still swivels freely beyond the constraints whilst in frame 1

What version of AS? On 11, and on my system, it works as expected. Are you on Mac or PC? Can you post an anime file?

Using AS 11 on a Mac. I'd be happy to post the file, if you'd care to look at it.... Do you have an ftp server thingy that i could drop it at?

Ah! Hold your horses! It appears the bone constraints had mysteriously become unchecked while in Smart Bones mode.... I'll just have too keep an eye out for that in the future. The problem has been fixed. Thanks for the help!

For the future, I'd suggest getting a free Dropbox account, or use Google Drive. Being able to share a anime file can be really helpful for figuring this stuff out :) Anyhow, glad the issue got resolved.
