Bone constraints question

Post by erik »

Hi,

On opening the bone constraints box I read 3 things that are a mistery to me. Can't find any help or tutorials on this:

-Angle control bone
-Position control bone
-Scale control bone

I'd like to know what it is all about. Can anybody give me a pointer?

Thanks!

Erik

HI! That box let you control a bone rotation/movement/or scale is basis of any bone you want in the same bone layer (this is bad but yuo must know...); well, select the bone that you want be controlled and then press on that pop up menu where still you can read <None> to choose the bone that will control your selected bone (It's more easy that it seems in my explanation...) Anyway you always can read the tutorial 3.2 --> section Control Bones (in the middle), where sure it's better explained... Or you always can create several bones in the layer and feel free to experiment with all this, can be fun :) ...Ah! Of course be sure you are not in frame 0 to can notice the effect of this feature...

PS: And not, this in not an animatable feature...

Thanks Ramón! I'm not sure I understand everything you say, but it helped me to set up an ANGLE CONTROL BONE. However, the other two functions (POSITION- and SCALE CONTROL BONES) are still a problem. Can't get them to work...
