How can I access the bone inside the skinned mesh without selecting the mesh?! it's a pain to animate right now.

[iwkya1]

@Kinos141 select the mesh, right click, freeze selected.. done

[irvintiu]

[umar6419]

hey when i try to move my shoulder bones it hides and then arm also hides but when i rotate nothing happens any solution please

[Samirk92]

omg

[colbmista]

how do u link the mesh to the bones?

[XCrossRage]

@colbmista

when you have your rig made, click on your mesh that your rigging it to, in the modifier list click on "skin" and theres an option that says "bones" and "add", click on "add" and it'll open up a list of bones (the rig you made) and you select the bones, after that you adjust the envelopes.

[chrismastere]

How did you 50% hide it or turned them it on freeze without it going flat?

[Yakkahboo]

@chrismastere If you mean having the model see-through, it is a display option. select your mesh and hit alt+x, or go right click> object properties> and check the box next to see through

[revefresh]

Hi, just wondering if you knew if there was an option with the new CAT rig to add extra bones to areas such as the shoulder, elbow and knee to improve the deformationin the areas. cheers

[iwkya1]

@revefresh yes, there is also muscles in cat too

[baburuto]

so is this an easier way to make your models move ? as i haven't actually rigged any models yet but need to soon & i do have 2011

[Arraxis]

Is this Max 2011, or a 2010 with CAT?

[bobalou5000]

Whenever I try to add fingers to my cat rig it won't let me but I am able to add toes. Can anyone help me?

[ChineseEngineer]

Question: I'm very interested in buying this program because it has looked absolutely amazing since I first saw it in 08. I've been studying animation, and is CAT built into it or do you need to install it from the subscriber area? -confused-

[iwkya1]

@ChineseEngineer cat is included in 2011 version.

[ChimeraProd]

holy shit im dropping motion builder for this LoL

I was using AUTO RIGGING scripts for Maya...

Like the setup machine 2 etc but...

Can you get squash and stretch effects with CAT?

[rupluttaja]

is it possible to get CAT rigging to 3DS Max 9, because i dont want buy 2011

[iwkya1]

@rupluttaja Yea, its a separate plugin that you can get if you are a autodesk subscriber.

[Raintitane]

Awsome and really nice... You dont suppose if there is something similiar for maya? =/

[iwkya1]

@Raintitane im not sure if there is any plans for porting cat into maya but they might since there both autodesk. I dont know a great deal about maya's rigging and skinning tools tho, sorry :)

[Raintitane]

@iwkya1 I guess it would be too easy huh? Oh well at least i know there is something like this around now so i can keep my eyes open... Instead of sleeping all day ^^

[tuschan60]
