RIGGING PROBLEM - Polyloop

RECHTAV · 3rd October 2007, 11:18

Hi, i use carrara 6 pro and i'm trying to rig a bee by placing bones on the body, the head and arms. The only problem is that when i have attached the skeleton to the body, and i move one arm, the wings and the head get distorted. it's like they move with the arm. Any solution to that problem?

Thanks for your concern....

Insects have exo-skeletons. You should not be using any bones/skeletons. Just use a simple hierarchy with constraints. Problem solved. However, you can control the bones influence but I do not have Carrara on my system so I can not give you a screen shot.

I think it was made for Carrara 5, but Carrara 6 is very similar.
It is a long document, and it covers almost everything you need to know.
