Make an Item rigid on character?

acharyapolina

Hi, I am looking for some advice or help on how to make an item on a clothing set I am working on, riged. It is the button for the belt on the middle of my character. Every time I put her in a pose, it starts to worp the button and causes it to have cracks or ruf look. Any help would be greatly apriciated. thanks.

This is controlled (mainly) by the weight maps. if possible you want the weights across the item to be uniform, so that it moves consistently rather than deforming. You can also use morphs linked to the bend (at least one morph per bend that affects the area) so that when the pose is applied the morphs kick in. Another possible option is to split the button out as a prop, then create a Rigid Follow Node from the polygons behind that button and parent the button to the Rigid Follow Node (Mada posted a video on tis to one of the threads on dForce, though its use isn't limited to dForce).
