Hi EJ,
I have a question with Bendy Limbs. I’m using it with Cmotion in C4D r21. The rigging of Bendy Limbs itself works fine but, on the other hand, the CMotion doesn’t work with the Bendy Limbs for me since when I clicked the “Add Walk” in the object tab after the rig was done, nothing happened at all. Do you have any idea what could be the problem for this issue? Is it about the version of C4D that Bendy Limb doesn’t support yet?
Please email me and we can see if you got the latest version of Bendy Limvs that supports CMotion!
Hi Ej,
I have had the similar problem faced by our friend named Mac so that I would like to see if his problem was worked out. If so, I will be thankful to know the solution in hope for tackling the challenge.
Hello Ej,
for some reason, the Rig messes up my character completely. The moment I put the objects into the deformer folders they are deformed and set off before I moved anything. So the head is not sittting on the neck any more, the torso gets bent backwards, the legs are beneath the feet etc. What can I do?
Thanks, Daniel
not sure what’s going on there but there are adjustments that need to be made to adapt to certain models, so if your model is not in a good t-pose it’ll not look great upon applying CMotion
It happens with completely different characters. I put the head in the “Head.bind_Model” group and it immediately gets flattened and moved several inches higher. The torso gets stretched and moved upwards either. I haven’t even applied C-Motion so far.
Hi!! This is awesome! QQ, can I save the CMotion animation to use it in MarvelousDesigner to create clothes?
