OUPS ...

It look like MRGREEN did infected another one ...

Until I ban him that is....Mr. Green.... not Prometheus....Yet..... Of course, both you and Prometheus have some questions to answer knowing Mr. Green is an agent of The Man....

Hey I only tried to think and act like Goliath. I can tell you, it's not worth trying No offense, Goliath, I think I'll recalculate normals and act like always...

Why ??

The more crazy peoples like me,

The Mental Health we will be

hmm....

Look like I forgot some words....

Thanks for this nice tutorial!

I have a little problem with the jaw movement: When I move the jaw bone, the upper lip keeps moving along, although in weight paint mode it appears blue. I think I followed all the instructions, although I used the script on http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=138337 for the first steps. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,
Philipp

Jeez! Somebody made a script from this tutorial....

Anyway, Welcome to the boards Philipp...

The jaw exercise was one that I think I should have foregone. So many are having problems with it. You need to make sure that the weight is feathered off as you reach the top part of the top line (does that make sense?) It should feather off mid cheek in other words. Actually, it should feather off all around. Make sure the interior parts of the mouth are properly weighted. That is what I was trying to impart with the "missed" verts inside the mouth.

Hi penix1,

I just tried with the rigs tutorial. I am having some probs regarding the mesh deformation. Please take a look at the screenshot below..



Could you suggest as to what could be wrong ?

Thanks

You aren't weight painted properly. Also, you have turned on "envelopes". Turn those off and re-apply "bone heat" to the armature. Sorry for the short reply but I'm on assignment deep in the bowls of The Man and it isn't pretty down here...

Thanks penix1, i am able to do it now....

Hi.. penix1 ,

I am trying to export rigs from my model. What i have noticed when importing a .dae to Blender, an Armature and a Skeleton level is shown in the Outliner. By any chance are we making use of the "Skeleton" ? Are we merging it anywhere ? Whenver the rig is done, the "skeleton" remains as is in the model the rest of the body moves well. But eventually, while rendering the static skeleton is shown.

I tried to export the rig by removing the skeleton after which i get a series of warning messages while exporting the body mesh as in

"warning: Vertex with more than 4 bone assignments!"
"warning: Vertex without bone assignment!"

Any views on this.....

Thanks

The skeleton isn't used for anything spectacular that I know of. I usually remove it (or at least move it to another layer).

k..

I am using Blender 2.49b, OSX and imported the model from MakeHuman 0.9.1RC1. Is this tutorial for a different version of Blender? I ask because I'm striking differences in the Kinematics section of Part III



I'm having quite a few problems when following these and comparing what I end up with with what's described and pictured.

When I Press CTRL-I, it inverses the bone selection so the new bone and Index_1.L aren't highlighted but all the rest in the Armature are. So how should I set this constraint? What I have figured out for adding constraints when in pose mode is this: F9 > Constraints.  Click "Add Constraint" and select "IK Solver". When I do this, it's not Index_1.L that turns yellow but the new bone instead. I have tried to go further but just get further off track.

Up till this point has gone really well but I've been through this part a couple of times and just can't get it to work. If anyone has tips for this I would really appreciate it!
