Seems like the leg paint weigts are deforming your body, you gonna have to paint the body so the legs dont derform it.

[svenip]

detach the body from the skinning (detach skin) and parent it under the root joint. then it will not be deformed by the bones, just mooved with them.

Thanks for the answers guys

Sp7777: I'm not so familar with painting yet, might have a look at it.


Svenip: The legs are parented to the body, should I unparent them from the body, or will it still work?
also the body got different parts,, I tried that I think, and all the parts of the body just rotated and moved totaly wierd in space.

[svenip]

go and bind the legs (one by one) to the joints which will deform the leg (so only the leg joints you've setup by ik :) ) then just parent the body (which you don't wanna be deformed and only moove with the skeleton) to the root or whatever joint you're taking for forward moovement. (usually the root :) )

[rsalonen]

Thanks, I did that
but, when the legs are binded to the leg joints the move waaay more forward than the rest of the body, which will make them separate from eachother.
Any idea what is happening?

[rsalonen]

ok, I got it to work now,
but another problem came.
When I set keys for all the IKs for the leg so that I may move the root and the other joints bend, like our knees do, all the legs follow, except for one, it moves down, while the rest stays on the ground, this is really wierd


EDIT: I just saw that I had parented the Ik handle for that leg under the skeleton, that's why.

[svenip]

sounds like double transform. look of the surface is somewhere parented or grouped under a node which you're moovin with the skeleton.

it should be this. every surface which is "bind" to the skeleton group, and then unparent the group from all. it must stay seperatly. all the other surface which you don't wanna deform just moove with, parent under the appropriate joint.

Thanks svenip for your help (as always ;) )

I think I got it all working now, time to animate (again), wasn't happy with the first animation anyway.

I owe you a :beer:
Next time I visit Germany I will ;) (btw My parents are their way to Germany right now :rolleyes: )

[svenip]

no problem. did you see minority yet ? how is it ? as long as i'm waiting for christmas and the two towers i would like to see another great movie :)

[rsalonen]

Minority Report is really good, original and exiciting, and eye candy for us 3d freaks :rolleyes:

I got a bit Matrix feeling over it, with some wierd things the world is working around etc, hard to explain without spoiling anything.

You should see it, really nice movie, with nice music too (made by best movie composer IMO, John Williams :) )
