Love your videos Milos! Do you have Squash and Stretch rigging set up? Or reccomendations? Thanks

Milos, thanks for all your videos. I’m quite experienced in 3dsmax, but have just recently taken up character animation. Your vids are very helpfull, but I’m missing some help and info on how bones are connected in CAT, ik, fk etc. I’m finding it very hard to adjust preset rigs to a model, moving, rotating, edit poly’ing bones - without somehow ruining bone-connections.

how seporate cat hierarhy for death animation of skeleton ?

[@gabe687]

I've done it before in a couple of ways. I would either use a separate rig, and do a model swap or the mesh parts that can break off, would be attached to the main model's joints with a link constraint that can be animated in the motion panel. This is different from the basic select and link tool in the main tool bar. The parts of the mesh that can fall off, would be hidden normally, but you swap the mesh by animating visibility or in some cases quickly change the scale, and animate the Link constraint so these parts can either remain attached or can be moved off the main rig. If it's for a game, you can let the coder show or hide different parts of the model when needed.
