MR Move Targeted Joint Script

[KuzKuz]

The videos are in Russian but English subtitles are available.



This tool allows you to easily fine-tune the elbows and knees of your character when target bones are in use.
To work correctly it requires a hierarchical pair of bones controlled by a target. The bones must not be flipped. The lower bone (the shin or the forearm) must not have any Y-axis translation.

Your scripts are always simple and incredibly clever!
Thank you very much (again) for sharing it.

[KuzKuz]

Thank you Victor!

I slightly corrected the script, now when you press the left mouse button, the knee will not jump to the cursor position. You will be able to move it from its original position, which will give you even more precision. If you downloaded the script before this comment appeared, please re-download it. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you very much, for your generosity!

Whoa! This one is going to be especially useful KuzKuz.

Thank you so much for sharing this tool.

[Daxel]

Good job as always, thank you!

This looks like a truly useful script, thank you! But I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, when I press the left mouse button it just deselects the bones?

Thank you! Just turn on the "Ignored by inverse kinematics" option for the "B1" bone. If B1 has more than one child bone, it will work without this option.

[WatchMotion]

Thanks! That's working perfectly, I can't wait to use this in future projects!

... для меня не проблема, но ваша локализация возвращает английскую фразу, если fileWord == "Файл"

[KuzKuz]

Thanks, hayasidist! I just updated the script.
I added Russian localization and the new option "Maintain Proportions" that allows you to maintain the ratio of the lengths of bones in relation to each other.

Hi, thanks for making the script. I experimented with target bones in the past, but never used target bones in my rigs because of the issues it created with joints. It was simply easier for me to not use target bones. Your clever script solves the problem I had with the joint. Thank you for making it.

Unfortunately, the script doesn't seem to be working for me.

I made a simple hip/leg/foot test rig with a target bone. On frame 1 or later, the script apparently does not allow me to manipulate the leg bones or the root bone. If I click a leg bone, the target bone gets selected instead. The two bones of the foot can be manipulated, though. But since I can't select the upper and lower leg bones, the script won't move the joint like it should.

I'm no expert with target bones, so I am probably making a mistake somewhere. Does it work for the MacOS? Maybe that's the problem...

It's working this end although I had a little trouble seeing the icon.That said, this tool should come stock standard with Moho. Makes working with Target bones a pleasure!
Thanks again KuzKuz.
