Hi,
I'm setting up joints for a horse, and am a bit new to rigging. Looking through some old threads and online, I noticed most neck joints were placed in an arc to follow the curve of the horse's neck. Here I just placed them where the vertebrae would actually be located on a skeleton, I'm not sure if this is correct—would this cause problems down the road, or is this also an acceptable method for joint placement? I keep hearing it's advised to follow anatomy, but not sure if I should just follow the curve of the neck instead?
Here's (http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa467/mmacmahon/Picture4.png) the screenshot.
Thanks in advance!
