Subject: semi conforming?

I am working on a project and I need part of a conforming figure to only conform to the z axis.. Is this even possible? I tried setting parts (collars) to use limits in the CR2 then gave them a limit of zero for both the x and y axis... That doesn't seem to have done it. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Styxx "the one with a bruised forhead from the wall"

hmmmm..... sounds like something crazy i would try. well, when that doesn't work, i'd try... deleting the x and y rot dials? unless you need to hand set them. i might also see how well it worked if you named the left and right collars as something else, so they just didn't conform at all. if it has arm bits past the collars, this might mess them up. hmmm... thinking further, maybe you don't want to conform, but you want a remote control thingy. try naming the collars something besides collars, then have the z rot dials slaved to the... hmm, well, that'd kinda depend on editing the target figure, too. :/ i was gonna say you could slave them to the conformee's collars' zrot dials. oh, when you set the things x and y rots to use limits, did you use limits 1 or limits 4? i dont think it matters, i think the conformer just follows the conformee and ignores limits and such. i could be wrong.

Hey Bloodsong, Good ideas! I haven't tried the first idea, the second would be a bit of a problem. Your dead on with the third part.. already tried that and it ignored the limits :( I'll try deleting the dials and let you know how it goes :) Thanks!

Er... so how did it go? Now you have me curious. ;] This sounds like something wierd I'd try also, and then go "Eeeeewwwww!" after I saw what it did...

G I figured it out.... I deleted the x and y "twisty" dials under channels. It worked wonderfully well!

Coolness. Now I'm almost afraid to ask what it was you're trying to partialy conform. Sounds painful. ;]
