Moho Forum

Watching the latest video from Moho's YouTube channel called "Afraid of animating too many legs?", he spider's leg rig caught my attention. How to use the target bone on the knee to lengthen and shorten the bones



I don't know how they did it, but I tried it out and came up with a simple way to use target bones and be able to lengthen and shorten the bones.
I had never tried it and I've never seen it in any tutorial so I don't know if is very common.



I I've created a video explaining the process. I hope you can understand it

This would be the diagram




To connect it to another bone, a pin bone had to be added as shown in this diagram

Victor figure out that 10 years ago, since than I use that technique in my rigs all the time.

I learned a lot of things from Victor, but I've never seen this before. I use target bones that way but without lengthening or shortening the bones.

I've been using Moho for many years but it's good to learn something new...

Thanks for the reply

Maximum stretch for bones is quite interesting. But there could be a checkbox to mark values ​​lower than 100%.
We can do this with Dragon Matrix and MR Pose tool, which are external scripts, but it would be interesting to have it native as well.

I also think it's very basic and should be included in native Moho.
I wanted to know how they did it in the video "Afraid of animating too many legs?" because it seems they don't use the script MR Pose tool. I use scripts but I prefer to use native tools as a first option.
