Heh, could make a very inappropriate joke at this point...


But I won't!

When you say "go up", do they actually go up from their start position, or do they stay in place while the rest of the model falls away? If the latter, you need to make sure all the vertices are included in the rigging (not sure if you're using vertex, envelope, or some other method?) so that they stay where they're supposed to.

I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be.

Huh. It looks like you're moving the legs but the hips/crotch stay rigid with the rest of the body. Try including more of the vertices in your leg bone rigging, beyond that I can't really help you, as I don't use 3DS Max.

The verts are assigned to the pelvis part of the biped, I guess using a tail bone would help this but it seems odd that those verts always come up, it's like 3dsmax makes everyone happy to see me.

Dont attach to the pelvis include them in the thigh envelopes, with a little adjustment to the fall off, all should be fine. You may have to make some of those verts rigid too, not meant to be funny, honestly.

Erm... quite a strange sounding title, but nevertheless... I was under the impression that you wanted to rig something else...

Umm no, the crotch is a section of the human body, only people with rather sick minds would turn it into something inappropriate.

I agree. I mean the crouch is the under section of your abdomen. But still some people do model and rig that area Toasty was on about.

Very true. You should see the Oblivion mod site, TESNexus.

Anyway, we should stop this.
