Title: Moving part of a model Post by: DrPanda on September 08, 2010, 06:33:34 AM Ok, Basically I would like to know if its possible to attach one part of a model to a different part of the same model, and if so, how to do it.
I think it requires bone editting, but I'm not sure what to do :-\ Can anybody help? Thanks Title: Re: Moving part of a model Post by: dingo on September 08, 2010, 07:09:40 AM It depends entirely what you're trying to do and where the piece of the model is. For example with Cal's Sword Ganon, he moved the arm guards, which follow his ArmJ bones to his hands, and renamed the HandN bones so his hands didn't use a different animation. This kept his hands moving with him arms so that the swords stayed in place.
Black Boo's Imp Midna has A LOT of renamed bones to move the shield or sheathe onto her head and keep her head and neck from moving to keep it there. Title: Re: Moving part of a model Post by: DrPanda on September 08, 2010, 09:33:05 AM I see.
Well, I'm trying to make Shiek hold the dagger on her back in her right hand... I can guess that its gonna take a lot of editing. So where do I start? ;D Title: Re: Moving part of a model Post by: dingo on September 08, 2010, 09:45:56 AM That's attached to her hip, so unfortunately that wouldn't work. >.>

Could I move it so it is attached to her upper body instead, Wearing it like Link's sheath? Title: Re: Moving part of a model Post by: dingo on September 08, 2010, 10:18:11 AM If you rename her SwordN bone to BustN, it'll follow the same animation as her BustN bone so it would always be on her back, you'd only have to vertex it to be higher and against her back.
