Belly bone on G3?

johann.hesters_2e9dd0ece9

Hello!

I want to animate the belly fat using a belly bone.

Such a bone does not exist for G3 (or G2).

So I would have to add such a bone to G3 and then weightpaint / skin it myself, right?

There is no other way, is there?

There is no hidden belly bone that I just need to activate, right? :-)

Thank you!

Yes there is no bone for this purpose. You would have to add it yourself and then weight paint that area but I am not sure whether there might be some negative effect on the rest of the bones currently affecting that area (the abdonmen ones I think).

Also, if you do decide to add it, then I would recommend doing the weight painting with the belly fat morph dialed in so that you can better see the area you want to cover.

Hi Toyen,

Then,, if you can do it well,, you may need to add belly bones and adjust weight, for clothing too..  or your figure keep nude when belly bone working

can not poze well with clothing,, I think. .

 

I thought why daz did not offer another  rig  and weight map sets,   for genesis figures,,.  then user could exchange  them when they need like exchange UV sets,,

But  to offer them, daz  need to change figure data file structure from scratch ,  and loose compatiblity  dramatically,, then it may not happen.

hope Genesis 5 have option to choose rigs.

Yes, you are right. I think DAZ should offer additional rigs. Also, more LODs, but it seems they are currently not interested in that.

What a pity.

Do you really mean "Genesis 5" or did you mean "Genesis 4"?
