Hi I've been having this little problem with a set im currently working on. No matter how I adjust the joint params when bend the draw part I cannot get the whole part to bend evenly so that is stays aligned with the sheath. Thanks, Psykes

Oh yeah the sheath is a smart prop parented to the body part named "draw" if that helps any.

KK this is actuallu pretty easy. The center is not alinged exactly center inside the strap. The center if off distorting the rotation. The red/green "handlebars" need to have their center in the center of the segment width. Rules of Joints Everything inside green bends with rotation Everything outside of red does not bend with rotation Everything between red and green blends during rotation. For a possibly smoother blend add more part segments. My experience is that you need rougly 10 to 12 polygons for a smooth circular curve

Here is a sample of what you are looking for

Thanks so far the info was a bit helpful. I still seam to be getting the same problem though, its a little bit better on the upper part, the larger strap, but the low part (string) still gets all outta whack... I had a thought though, could the proble be the way the strap is sharpe? the fact that is does point straight down or something? or would cutting it a differnt way make it work better you think?

add more bendable segments. :P

Well now I feel like a dolt, turns out all it was is i messed up the orientation at some point... Thanks again though dude, it was useful info either way. Psykes
