Hi guys,
Does anyone has any issue on creating an Isner Spine in XSI 6.0?

I've followed this instructions:

http://www.isner.com/isnerspine/spine_introduction.htm

and used the script (at the end of the page)
but i get an error:
"invalid argument spicified"

There is any kind of tutorial out there that explains how to
use an isner spline into a full body setup?

Thanks a lot...I'll keep googleing

Ok thanks...just moved on XSI and I'm trying to replicate my Maya Ribbon setups. :)

So the Isner Spine system is implemented in XSI 6.0 under skeleton-->create Spine.

Is that correct?

Thanks a lot

Just what I was looking for.

Thanks again

The Isner spine isn't really a valid replacement for a ribbon spine. I'd just re-create the ribbon spine in XSI as you get more control.

Yeah you're right but I just started looking XSI and I'm still trying to find my work flow. :)
I've just watched your arm setup Tuna and is quite similar to my "Maya" Arm solution.

So how to achieve that kind of flexibility within XSI?

Probably the same way you do in Maya :) Just constrain nulls along a curve, or use a 'ribbon' setup in the arm.

Dude Welcome to XSI! I was looking at your stretchyarm.mov. Dang! That's cool! When you work one of those rigs up in XSI, please teach us how to do it!

(BTW I mean me, I'm sure someone is about to post here and say "I can do that")
