I wanted to give an example of how my new script can be used with other figures besides the tentacle I had been using. I turned to the Poser Rattlesnake as a good candidate. Not only is the standard model way under-segmented but it's also been used enough that folks pretty much know how it bends. I stripped out the standard bones in the Pro Pack setup room and boned it with a bone per each segment in the .obj file. I ended up with a little over 120 individual bones. I ran the script and tinkered a bit. The result is the accompanying image. This is an example of what I meant by it being a generalized tool. It's not limited a particular figure but has a much broader field of use.

A rattler crossed with a python is this a first?
Kudos to bushi :)

Bushi, I'd love to use the reboned rattler for one of my upcoming images. I'd be really grateful if you could put it into freestuff. Since I work on a Mac I can't use the great tools you have on your website. Cheers, Phil

Silly Snake - I said rattLER not rattELER. ;-) The script is still in the works but I'll post when it's available to the public.

Sure makes for a more natural bend, looks just like that sucker I ran across last weekend; just before I chopped his head off and threw em on the barbie!!

Great work Bushi :) I'd have to consider re-installing the rattler for this LOL

Now, now, we're not boneheads... some bits of this thread really tickled my funnybone, but it's time for my RPG, so I'd better be off to roll the bones...
Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!

RattEler - I've attached a link to the message where I gave an overview of the script. I think it'll answer most of your questions about it. Xena - Thanks! You may be recruited as one of the brave few to do the beta. ;-)
