View Full Version : Rotation constraint in local

Hi there,

i want to constraint the rotation of several rollbones on a rig, but the rotation constraint seems to only work in global.
I need to set the rotation constraints in local. How do I do that.
I know i can use the relations constraint to do that, but then I cant use the snap funktion. When I activate it, the mesh is twisting out of shape.

What to do???

Im using MB 2010.

when you drag in your objects to relation, right click on them and you will be able to set the values to be local.

yeah, that worked. thanks. Now i got another problem of course :-)

I have the rollbones working in X axis by adding a null on the wrist to keep the offset. Used a vector to number node, connected the X number to a rotation scale node and then to the twistbone.
But now I'm having trouble having the first rollbone (the one by the elbow) follow in the Z and Y axis. Even though i connect it from the vector to number to a number to vector and then to the bone it doesnt do anything. I also tryed to make another relation constraint, but it overwrites the rotation in the X axis.
Any ideas?
