michael Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 hmmm.... I would model one then use the copy sop on a few curves... what problems did you have with copy sop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musickent Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 the problem is the pieces are not in right position after copy.. emmm. can i copy the prototype to the points' normals? because i can manage the normal of each point to right direction..

michael Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 check out the Align OP it can give you lots of control HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcronin Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Make a curve, resample the curve so it's segments are even, sweep the plate onto the curve, append a transform between the plate object and the sweep SOP, and rotate the plate into position. If you are careful about how the plate is aligned to begin with it's a snap. I didn't put much thought into this file, but I just realized, if you align the original plate in a way that makes sense to start with, and make the handle on the transform SOP persistant, you'll have a handy little animation control so you can jostle the plates with slight rotations while the character walks. skirt.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
