Title: [Solved] Why can't you scale bones before rigging alt costumes? Post by: sorcerice on December 04, 2014, 04:25:34 AM Going through the tutorials, they say not to scale or move the skeletal structures, but they don't say what happens if you do. Does it make the costume unusable? Does it alter the main skeletal structure? I'm asking mainly because Lucario has such narrow shoulders, and I'm trying to make a NiGHTS import. NiGHTS has much wider shoulders, and I'm not sure how to rig the arms when the shoulder bone is in the middle of the chest/face:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks in advance! Title: Re: Why can't you scale bones before rigging alt costumes?

Post by: KingJigglypuff on December 04, 2014, 07:08:29 PM The reason you should never edit skeletons unless you're making a PSA is due to the very fact that if you edit even the smallest thing in the skeleton, your character will not be one slot. And will desync online (if you're using the alternate server, as the official server has been shut down).
What people do when faced with a model that doesn't fit the skeleton is to edit the model to fit the skeleton. The only time you should ever edit the skeleton to match the model is if you're making a PSA, as you have much more freedom with the ability to move and add bones.

I'll try to edit the model to make it work. |
