Attachment point hlep.

[Cavman]

Well, seems I am having some serious trouble with my attachment points. Specifically on this model. can anyone help?

People say they all appear above the head, or on the right hand only.

Rename the "Head - Ref" to "Head Ref". The other names of the attachmentpoints seem correct.

Your chest attachment point seems to be attached to Bone Head? Look around in Magos. Give your attachments the right parents - for example, Head Red to Bone Head, Chest Ref to Bone Chest etc. After that is done, remake their co-ordinates. Open the model in Vertex Modifier, select a part of the mesh(e.g., the head, the right hand, the chest etc) and go to Tools --> Center of Mass --> View. Open the model in Magos and write the right co-ordinates for each and every attachment point. If this doesn't works, I have no idea what will.

No, the chest ref is attached to the chest helper. It's just that in Magos it's put under the other helpers and bones in the hierarchy. If you actually look at the lines, it is connected to Bone_Chest, but just under Bone_Head in the list. Also, aren't the way the coordinates in Magos and vertex modifier set up different? The way I normally test to see where a attachment point should go is checking it against what ever bone or helper is closest to where it should be, most often times the helpers. And to make sure I don't get the wrong one, I will test the helper by changing on the coordinates, normally by adding like 100 to the x one and seeing if moved drastically and thus the one I want or not.

Also Thyrael, I don't really think that has any bearing on how the attachment points work, but I did change that for uniformity and such.

The coordinates in Magos and Vertex Modifier are different? :S
I really don't think so, I've always used Vertex Modifier and Magos to rig stuff and then animate it in WarForger.

And of course, the "_Ref" at the end just HAS to be added, otherwise it wont work.

Alright, I'll try that out.

And ya got confused again. I'm not saying I am taking out the "ref", thyrael was saying that having a - in it would mess it up and to remove it.
