Hi,
Anyone has any advise on rigging a rope ?
Where can I find tutorials in the net ?
Thanks

Ropes are very easy but you need a reasonable amount of geometry  for the bones to work.

create your rope object along one axis, then in the setup room add a series of bones from one end to the other. Use autogroup to allocate polygons to the bones.  Exit setup room and you are basically done .

There is a easypose rope in freestuff if you want to see an example.

You may find this Poser plug in of interest.

All Tied Up

It makes ropes and chains with Easy Pose controls built in.

Thanks to M**arkschum and PhilC for the reply.
Is Easypose a utility or plugin ? Where can I find it ?

Hi, Can Easypose and All Teied Up create variuos irregular shapes as shown in the attached image? From a straighten rope to irregular shapes? Thanks

EasyPose is a brand name for Posers ERC . You can manually add it to any figure, its basically a master dial that can control slaves in the various body parts. Irregular shapes would be a mix of different values in the slave dials and you would get the same irregular shape each time.

EasyPose and AllTiedUp are utilities that make ading the master and slave dials much easier. Worth the expense if you plan on doing much wirh it.

There are also a few python scripts that allow you to select multiple body parts , and apply a bend,twist to all of them. Its a sort of external easypose program.

Thanks again Markschum.
So, what are the names of the scripts and where can I find it ?

Freestuff here
**Chain Pose 1.03 by Dimension3d  in Poser > utilities on page 4

This does not rig or apply easypose. It runs on an existing figure and allows you to apply bend or twist etc to a group of body parts.

Thanks Markschum. I'm going to try it out.
