Create Bones = Create "Helper" Bones?

[Greedy Procrastinator]

Hello.


I clicked "create bones" in MDLVIS

and went to reassign matrix in RMS

, but it wasnt showing them. So I checked nodes

and spotted that its only "Helper".

Any suggestions? My Idea is to edit one Structure that has lame death animation to a newer destructible one like things could fall off and etc.

Mdlvis is quite buggy with these things. It converts bones without vertices attached to them into Helpers. I recommend only using Retera's Model Studio for working with bones.

I'm using rms for long time but never created bone with it, it should be added via txt file or there is option to do so?

Here you can see an image of the editor in the Edit window. On the right-side menu you can choose "Vertex" "Face from Selection" and "Bone". While "Bone" is selected, clicking in the Edit-Windows will create bone at those coordinates. When you want to stop creating bones, just click back the "Vertex" mode. You can assign individual vertices, faces, or vertex groups or even Geosets to individual bones by selecting said vertices and Right-Clicking to open this small menu and select "Re-assign Matrix". This opens a menu that shows all Nodes and vertices attached to them. Select one bone (in the menu) and select "Use Bone" and the vertices you have selected in the Edit-view will be assigned to that bone.

You can create node hierarchy by selecting a Bone and choosing "Set Parent" from the same pop-up menu (made by right-click on the Edit-view). But personally I find that Renaming and Hierarching Nodes is easier in Magos' Model Editor.

Thanks, it worked, but Why is it moving like gel? XD

It looks like the whole tower's vertices are attached to that bone and you are currently Rotating it - not moving it. So, as you rotate the bone all the vertices are rotating around that point, thus making it look like an elastic band.
