hey,

Which script are you talking about? the script for the square made out of curves or the script in the next tutorial?

[sebazx6r]

If U need it just check out my movies I just posted how to do it.

[sebazx6r]

Make a poligone qube as he said. Double click on the EP Curve tool on the Curves shelf. Then select. Curves degree to 1 linear. Turn the snap to points on. Draw the curves on the poligone cube. Do with in a one use of the EP Curve command. Some times just over draw existing curves. Afterwards go to the script editor which is in windows-> general-> script editor Copy this command and add to shelf. Just highlight it and click the mouse button and drag. I ll post a vid in a second.

@Regna nah still cant get it shame its a great tut cant find any on youtube for maya like this but i cant get this part ugh

[Regna]

@Regna ow i got it now i think , but the box is now the same color as the ik ok so when i select the handle for the wrist/hand area a pink box now shows up that i can move the join with, but im not sure if this is what was meant to happen.

Just got it...Instead of creating a polygon square, create a volume cube.

[keltar2007]

Same here...whenever I create one out of squares, I can't figure out how to bind em.
