look at the 2 point constraints for this type of stuff. It gives you control of what axis points down the joint and also to set an object as an up vector to stabilize them. Might get rid of the need for the 2 constraints. If you're sticking with the 2 constraints, you'd set the first constrai

Okay, I just read a bit about Rigid vs Soft coupling. That clears that up. The thing is that all my constrained objects are using Rigid coupling, so in theory, this should not be the source of the problem. Right? Sergio M. On 13/12/2013 4:32 PM, Sergio M

Problems with weighted constraints

2013-12-13 Thread Sergio Mucino
I'm running into an interesting problem with weighted constraints. I have a feeling of what's causing it, but I wanted to see if anyone has ran into it before. I've got a fairly straightforward 3-arm animation setup. One chain is the IK arm, another chain is the FK arm, a
