Twisted Vertex Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 can we get an image of him holding the saber. Try rotating the tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMan Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Sounds like you missed attaching or weighting one of those bolts. Don't ask me how. I think it was covered in Tim Applebee's tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Clod Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Make sure you weight the BOLT_R_HAND to the R_HAND_TAG bone instead of the R_HAND bone. Hopefully this will fix your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacD Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Yeah, I got that from a previous post (like, ten pages back ) from Mayor Clod. So I'll thank him here,too Ah, but now you have the unenviable job of weighting the fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAIK HUAT Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 cant you get away with just weighting the hand tags to the hand bone as its the tags that tell the saber how to sit into the hands isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Clod Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 cant you get away with just weighting the hand tags to the hand bone as its the tags that tell the saber how to sit into the hands isnt it? The actual weapon placement is determined by the r_hand_tag bone. See in animations such as the backstab, the lightsaber needs to actually spin around so it is facing the opposite direction in the hands, it is basically held upside down. Also, there are other animations where the lightsaber is spun independant of the hand (the single player taunts, and the activation animations come to mind.) This just lets the animator have more freedom with the weapons movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
