    So getting back to the violins if I parent the instrument to a collar bone it will be affected by that arm's IK chain, which I think is what I want for movement but that's only useful up to a point. The other arm needs a constraint between hand and the instrument's neck so when the collar with the violin moves the affect cascades to the relationship between the opposing arm/hand and instrument, not sure how to go about that. just yet.

    That's how fluffs deal with worky work."

    First they didn't work at all, then they worked fine, now they animate weird xD Oh well, if you click on it the image animates smoothley with no ghosting :)

    If have heard of inverse kinematics but I have no idea what it is. All I know is that I need to turn it off in Poser 9. If I don't then the legs will not move when I reposition a figure. I'm going to find some information about inverse kinematics tomorrow.

    I know a bit about it, but nothing that I could explain with words ^^;
    I know that it's more for automated movement than manual posing - the two usually being mutually exclusive: Either you pose with IK, or you pose manually (Which I think standard jointing is called Forward Kinematics...?)

    Parenting a violin to the collar gives me an IK chain from hand > fore arm > arm > collar > violin. Then I need an FK chain for the hand from collar>shoulder>forearm>hand>fingers_on_strings. But I also need those fingers in the FK chain to follow the violin's neck, can't wrap my head around how right now heh *scratchy scratch*


    eta working it out now

    ...that's how i feel when I try to work with Blender, though the hissing gets rather loud, turning into actual snarls at times and I have to shut it down before I break something I cannot afford to replace.

    I'd prefer to have Blender's functionality wrapped into three or four apps rather than overflowing the one interface but that's 21st century heresy (by thought I think) :lol:

    This doesn't look so bad maybe, two constraints

    ...looks pretty good there.

    As to Blender, I agree it is too much to comprehend (especially with no standard UI). It's kind of like Carrara on extreme steroids.

    I just came from reading more of the comments after his presentation at the Blender conference and he has definitely caught the attention of the community and foundation. There is some nice encouraging support from both those new to Blender and those who have worked with it for years. There were also some pretty caustic and immature responses as well. All he wants is for Blender to be able to reach more people which it certainly doesn't do in it's current state.

    From what I hear and read, I feel the foundation is sending the wrong message when it says it doesn't want to sacrifice usability for the sake of attracting new users (huh?).

    isn't an electric stove like an oversized hot plate? There should be a knob on the front of the stove. gah, I'm old fashioned. I think you mean a stove with digital controls and a display screen?

    You could always pull the pan partly off the ring, so it is only getting half the heat, and keep stirring it

    lol

    it's an apt size stove with a few knobs. i should get one of those crockpot slow cookers. iz gonna be a klah winter, just keep tossing in potatoes, meat cubes for my bubby. some marshmallows to toss on the sweet potatoes and yams. a very yammy season, tee hee. biscuits and butter. yammy yumma. :)

    need to pick up some kisses for a frsh batch of peanutbutter blossom goodness :lol:

    they kinda look like sultan hats, d'ya think?

    I've always thought they looked like sultan hats as well. In fact the first time I heard someone talking about eating a sultana these cookies are the first thing I though of..

    Everyone should have a crock pot. I just made a batch of chili in ours last week. Brown the meat and then toss all the secret ingredients in and let it simmer on low all day.

    Chilli sounds really good. I haven't made any in a while

    I am tired that Smart content won't work on this computer. I make sure CMS in running before starting studio, but as soon as studio starts, CMS stops. I can start CMS again but there won't be any smart content in Studio.
