The Bone Tool - Inverse Kinematics in Flash CS4

[TheWaynelds]

Its a lot harder to do this in a 3D program. After making the armature, you have to select which vertices are effected by a bone, use vertex groups, weight paint, set up IK constraints and IK targets and movers. Its so frustrating to get my armatures on my 3D characters to deform the right way.

[frossdelaqrois]

hurry up!

to many words

[johnelrey08]

wow.. it helps.. for my 2d class :)) haha

[DemoraX]

i've been using the IKtool in CS5 and loving it, but now i'm trying to work with smaller sprites and i cant believe the bones overlay does'nt scale as you zoom in!

i cant even see my character behind it or see individual bones, its just a big mass of colour!

anyone know a way to scale/turn off the bone visuals?

you'll be a life saver thanks!

[FireBoos187]

Thanks dude i made a ragdoll :)

[TheMrClunge]

Is there a way to get one bone to follow the mouse?

[jamesuoxongshaowxx]

[excretorium]

@jamesuoxongshaowxx dude, not cool. save up.

[jamesuoxongshaowxx]

@excretorium hm? i didn't get what you just said >w<

[ironhike]

And that is probably exactly the type of graphics they used to design their bone rigging tool. WORST ANIMATION tool I have seen in my 22+ years of computer graphics. Thanks for NOTHING Flash.

[ServerForFree]

Welldone. Great tutorial for us beginners :)

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

I NEED HELP!!!! My stupid flash gives me a stupid warning! "Action Script 3.0" what the FUCK does this mean!? CS4 is fucking expensive...I need help!!! It says "inverse kinematics bones do not/support this version of actionscript. To see the bones on your objects you must target at least Actionscript 3.0" How do I fix this!?!?!?

[Qzyify]

just choose action script 3.0 when you start flash instead of 2.0 or what u choosing.

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

@Qzyify fixed but NOW my V-cam got problems HAHAHA

[caradepeidolas]

use as3 instead as2

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

I fixed that problem long time ago.... my V-cam messes up now..I have slow computer

[Engetic1]

srry i was in a bad mood. Im mad because I cant get thos arrows things to show up when I do the tool

[nidhi841]

but i want to animate a character which is having a dress on his body

[NeCacaluXuxultic]

that's not hard at all... you do it teh same way... ya jsut need to make the bottom of the dress rounded

[kurtal6]

XefPatterSon Voice!

But How?

[ThreeSixtydroid]

IK has so many bugs for me D:

[jeffersonLeery]

hey guys,

how for christs sake do i import a photoshop file

based on a picture in flash to use the bone tool on it.

i keeps sayin: CANT CONNECT BITMAP!?!?!?

so what should do?!

plz step by step, im a serious noob!

[crappyanimationsinc]

just rightclick and do break apart. if it didnt work just do it again, do it about 4 times and if it doesnt work just quit because there is something wrong with the bitmap you are using.

[bearfece]

thanks ^^

[TangibleShadow]

This was super helpful! Thanks so much!

[t0nno]

what drugs do i need and how much of it do i have to take to actually convince myself that that thing is a human body?

[GottaLoveTheCritics]

I think its called a gun. You aim it toward yourself then you pull a trigger.

[MrJeekz]

hahahaha

[poomapx]

just a help for you, you can hold alt option and drag to copy so yea hope it helps please tell me if it does :D

[ThinAir715]

But you can't make games with Pivot x3

[lLixu]

Hello. I have a problem with this bone tool, and I hoped you could help me out!

When I try to make a stickman, with the bone tool, some limbs usually won't connect. There won't go a line from the bone's so I can't get the stickman to move as a whole.

Please do not respond with "Use Pivot" because I use Flash, and use this for cinematical purposes.

[arstulex]

use pivot (sorry just had to say it xD)

[lLixu]

Wow! I never thought of that! I forgot how high quality animation it brings. Thanks alot man!

Now go die in a hole, please.

Thank you!

Also, the problem is already solved.

[arstulex]

if you want i could give you some real help... could you explain the problem a bit better?

[lLixu]

I already fixed it: I wanted to put more bones on 1 symbol, which isn't possible. Thank you though.

[arstulex]

i was just about to suggest that you split it up as only 1 bone per symbol can be used... cuz i said that on another vid requesting help but i guess u managed to find out by yourself

[GottaLoveTheCritics]

I saw a vid where a dude put 3 bones in one symbol. It pissed me off because i thought u cant do more than 1 bone

[GottaLoveTheCritics]

lol pivot is for 8 year old noobs. Stykz is way better!

But FLASH OWNZ ALL!

[saske1010]

ur voice reminds me of mark crilley O_O

[pivot1112]

that is good for stick figures

[animatermasterz]

uhh its like pivot >=( WHERES THE TRUE ANIMATION?!?!?!?!?!

[Forsakn132]

Frame by Frame, search for it.

[animatermasterz]

I know I was being sarcastic. I'm looking at what flash CS4 has I'm gonna buy it.

[Forsakn132]

It has everything :P

[NefernoII]

Which recording software are you using?

[saqibali143]

perfect!!!

[lolmofomang]

to create a scene do u click . or just move it?
