<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Gaia!<br><br>Theoretically, you could now do this with the Laplacian deform modifier<br><br><a href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modifiers/Deform/Laplacian_Deform" target="_blank">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modifiers/Deform/Laplacian_Deform</a><br><br> <br><br><div>> Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 12:49:36 +0100<br>> From: gaia.clary@machinimatrix.org<br>> To: bf-animsys@blender.org<br>> Subject: [Bf-animsys] (howto) Rig a mesh model to an arbitrary pose ?<br>> <br>> Hi;<br>> <br>> Assume you have a ready made Armature for human characters in T Pose<br>> Assume you have a garment that was made for an A-Pose armature.<br>> Assume you only have the garment mesh model (no weights yet)<br>> <br>> The task is: Rig the A-posed model to the T-Pose armature<br>> <br>> The apparent solution (the one i know) is:<br>> <br>> - make a working copy of the armature<br>> - pose the armature into A-Pose<br>> - Apply pose as rest pose<br>> - rig the garment<br>> - fix the weights if necessary<br>> - pose the armature into T-Pose<br>> - apply the Armature to the garment<br>> <br>> By now the garment has been transformed into a T-Pose garment.<br>> <br>> - delete the working armature<br>> - rig the garment to the original armature (parent with empty groups)<br>> <br>> Mischief done, garment is rigged to the T-Pose armature.<br>> Question: Can this be done with less effort ?<br>> <br>> Hypothetical idea:<br>> What if we could have 2 (or more) rest poses ?<br>> then the workflow could be:<br>> <br>> - pose the armature into A-pose<br>> - store A-Pose as new "active" rest pose.<br>> - rig the garment<br>> - fix the weights if necessary<br>> - make original rest pose "active"<br>> <br>> mischief done.<br>> Questions: Would this idea be beneficial in general ? And would it be <br>> doable ?<br>> Is there an alternative (easier/more appealing) hypothetical workflow ?<br>> <br>> cheers,<br>> Gaia<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Bf-animsys mailing list<br>> Bf-animsys@blender.org<br>> http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-animsys<br></div> </div></body>
