Thank you! Mine appears to snap regardless of whether I place the locator when the turn is really tight. do you know any way around this?

[@VictoriaLampini]

You're a true rigging expert. It'd be really cool if you could keep giving tips. I personally would love to know more on how to rig a dragon so its feet stay in place while its body moves. Do you know what I mean?

[@truongcgartist]

IK leg setup? If so, IK setup already have tutorials on youtube

[@VictoriaLampini]

@@truongcgartist I hope I can find some that would help. So far I've been unsuccessful. Rigging isn't exactly my specialty or my top interest.

Finally!

[@jakczevicente]

where in maya 2024 can i locate the deformable controllers? or is this a customized one? hope to hear from you soon :)

[@truongcgartist]

oh, it's best to ask Adv Skel directly. I dont have 24 available :(

[@Julia-jb5it]

Hi, I am using Maya 2023 and AdvancedSkeleton5, and when I go to add the deformable controllers, "deformable" isn't an option in the dropdown. Help! Thank you!

a cho e hỏi là muốn key đến đoạn này đi nhanh đoạn khác đi chậm thì làm thế nào ạ

[@truongcgartist]

em chỉnh trên graph editor của motion path anim curve

[@stupidfunnymoment]

cho e hỏi làm thế nào để xoay vật thể khi đã sử dụng Flow Path Object

[@truongcgartist]

xoay theo trục nào em? Các control vẫn có thể anim thêm dc mà?

[@truongcgartist]

@@stupidfunnymoment em có setup locator như trong tut a ko? Vì locator sẽ xoay nhân vật, còn để tránh bị xoắn bậy bạ thì locator đó phải đi trước, và đi ngay giữa các khúc kua. Và phải keyframe locator đó

[@stupidfunnymoment]

@@truongcgartist e loàm đc r ạ, e cám ơn a

[@MrShroombot]

You can’t export this to Unity. Fbx does not like lattice deformers. Learned this the hard way.

[@truongcgartist]

did you have another solution for this? I mainly use alembic >> Unreal for rendering

[@MrShroombot]

@@truongcgartist not yet. Trying to figure out a solution.

[@tommyhogann]

you just need to bake the deformation skeleton animation and export that@@MrShroombot

After binding, I can't seem to rotate my geometry, it's only letting me move it .... the IK rotation is not working any ideas?

[@truongcgartist]

each IK control has Follow End attribute right? Try to 0 them. Usually the end IK will control the rotation of the entire IK chain

[@TheMobster100]

Nope that wasn't it.@@truongcgartist
