Hello,

There seem to be lots of scripts/resources for making a traditional rig, where there are 3 rotation points (eg, shoulder, elbow and wrist). But I was wondering if there is a way to create a 4 rotation point rig, eg for a horses leg?

For example, if I had all the artwork setup, and placed 4 null objects that would act as the pivot points for…

Hi Dan,

Really appreciate the reply again.

I hadn’t heard of the drop down menu control before you mentioned it, having looked at some tutorials online it looks like it could prove very useful, and can see why you would recommend it for this situation. Although from the research I can see, I can’t find anyone linking multiple position properties…

Hey Dan,

Thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate it. So to try to further explain what I’m trying to do:

I have a precomp of a characters torso, in this precomp are 5 layers from Photoshop, each layer different artwork of angle of the torso (facing left, left 3/4, front on, right 3/4 and facing right). Each layer lasts for 1 second (an…

Hello,

I’m hoping to find an expression that locks a slider keyframe value to either be 0 or 100 (no other/inbetween values), abit like a check box on/off but needs to be on slider controls..

Many thanks!

Hello,

Is there a way to link a nulls position to jump to a predetermined position based on timeremaping keyframes? Or potentially a on/off checkbox?

Eg

When timeremap keyframe is at 0 seconds, Null postion is A, and when timeremap keyframe is at 1 second Null postion is B etc

Or when check box 1 is on null position is A, check box 2 null position…

Hello,

I’m looking to increase a slider value by one every 90 frames, so on frame 0 its ‘1’, frame 90 it would be ‘2’ and on frame 120 it would be ‘3’, and so on. They would need to be whole numbers (eg, not animate from 1 to 2 with decimal points across the 90 frame period).

I’m particularly useless as expressions so have no idea where to… Read more
