Bone as a Parent to another Element
Steve:
Scary gatling gun!
bayinghound:
I'm making full use of the parent bone. The Gatlin is a figure that I attached to a bone sticking out of one of the hands.
johnar:
froyd has been practicing picking different things up and putting them down.
The different coloured balls are attached to the bones with the corresponding colours as in the image below:
Not sure yet on multple different objects onto 1 bone.
We did have a little trouble on our first attempt, when a ball connected to a bone diappeared, even when made visible.That may have been something i was doing wrong that time, but the next time i added 1 ball per bone and had no trouble.
steve. Should we be able to add more than 1 object per bone?
If so, i'll try again and let you know how it goes.
As it is, if the hand is rigged as in the pic, then those 4 bones inside the hand are perfect for the hand to hold 4 different objects anyway.
In regards to object movement when setting object to bone, as i described in an earlier post, i've discovered that i was doing it in the wrong order.Now i see how easy it is to add an object to a bone.
The correct steps are:
1) add object to scene.
2) double click object and set to parent
and THEN 3) move object into position.
Done. Simple.
I was doing sep 1) then step 3) and then step 2), which would make me repeat step 3) again.
Steve:
johnar You should be able to do it in either order, or at least I thought so. Looks like another little bug. I'll fix it!
ianross:
WOW Johnar! great work, thank you Steve just tested parenting a spot light to a basic moving model, YES!!, it works.
I wonder what you are planning on doing next?? ??? can't wait.
