Another Motion Studio Question // TS6 and Older 1  |   Order by default Post by DesignDevil // Sep 30, 2008, 5:11am DesignDevil Total Posts: 76 Hello again, i would ask if there is any way to attach ONE object to more the one bone in MoStu without skinning. The reason is the following. If you have a robot model or anything else MECHANIC (edited ;-) object (i.e. the pixar lamp), then it is easyer and more practicable to attach the pieces directly without skinning. With skinning the pieces could be deformed if you move the bones. But the problem is that i can only attach one object to one bone. Subskeletons are a solution but not practicable. Has anybody found a solution for this? Thanks. Post by Tiles // Sep 30, 2008, 6:51am Tiles Total Posts: 1037 Makes no sense to attach one object to two bones. Either they are static. Then it's enough to attach the object to one of the bones. Or it is not static. And then you have to have deforming.

I try to explain it with a picture: http://www.east-power-soft.de/temp/mostu_problem_2.jpg As you can see, the bones 7,8 and 9 are connected to the piece called "Pivot2". But only one bone is really attached to it. The problem: if i animate the lamp (espacialy the pivot) then the pivot turns around (the small image in the green box). If i try to skin such a model the bones are deforming the pieces if i animate it. I hope that explain it good enough.
