[QUESTION] Attachmentpoints, Bones and Geosets
« on: September 09, 2011, 02:49:25 pm »
Hello Modcraft. I've got a new question for you its about attachmentpoints,bones and geosets. I've created a playable ogre but It does not show boots,kilt,shoulders or head. How do I know which bone I add helm attachment to? And how do I add geosets? What tools do I need?

ogre and ogremage models have shoulder and helm attach point, you need only to fix coordinates and attached bones and you can unse pymodeleditor
but models hadn't a lot of geosets, so you need to add every single geoset with blender+m2i, or set with pymodeleditor bracers legs and boots as hairstyle 00

Thank you Doresain, but how do I know where to coordinate? And where in PyModelEditor do I do that? And can't I use the copy geoset tool here to give them kilt/robe/boots?

Well how do the coordinates work? Collumn 1 is what? Collumn 2 is? Collumn 3 is? xD

Edit your first post instead of multiposting D:
The position has three columns. The first one is X position, the second one is Y position and the third one is Z position.

And X = Right, Y = Left and Z = height?

But you know this "axis" stuff? How would "right" and "left" be two different axis?
Its just a vector with three dimensions. You can name them v1, v2, v3 or x, y, z or a, b, c or waldo, fred, tim.
The only requirement is, that they define a point in a three dimensional coordinate system. One can only do this with a minimum of three linear independent vectors. "right" and "left" would not be linear independent as its just the inverse of each other.
Left-right, back-front, up-down would be a valid system.
But: fun-fact: These names depend on the viewing angle. Rotate the object by 90 degrees and two of the just named pairs are getting swapped.

Alright, my model now shows 1 shoulderpad *Cheers* but its really downscaled? And also when I go into geosets in PyModelEditor and try to rename my Boots and Kilt geoset to Hair / Root and press ok and view again it still says Kilt / Boots :( How do I make the boots and kilt geoset work?
