Rigging woes for Geographed limbs

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

When you make a geographed figure how do you keep it's rigging intact when you apply morphs to the figure it is attached to? When I change the Genesis figure the rigging on my geographed limb doesn't follow the new shape on the geographed limb the bones fly all over the place. I can manually place the bones and then do an ERC Freeze on the morph that Genesis applies to the limb and it works fine. I save the limb but the next time I load genesis and the geographed figure the rigging still doesn't adjust to the new morphs.

    Does the GeoGraft have the morph? AutoFollow-generated morphs are not saved between sessions, so there's nothing to link the ERC to I suspect.

    Ah.... so can I save the autofollow morph, do the ERC freeze and then everything will work properly? Or will it end up applying the morph twice?
     

    Will saving the morph let the bones adjust rigging to shape? The bones that Genesis has work fine with morphs but the bones I added to the geograph just stay put where they were initially. When I adjust rigging to shape the genesis limb bones explode.

    Woohoo! If you save the generated morph the rigging works. But adjust rigging to shape still explodes all the bones, so you have to manually adjust the rigging for the generated morph. This is going to take a long time to make it work with all the possible morphs the figure has. But at least it will work.

    Now I'm curious what Ghastly creation you've come up with this time LOL.

    Well let's just say when I applied the Ghastly Dog morph to genesis and tried to adjust rigging to shape I ended up creating a very bizarre mythological creature when the bones exploded.

    LOL I have that morph somewhere. I've yet to play with it though.

    It was one of those morphs I made just to see if it could be done. One of these days I'm going to have to learn how to do JCMs and then I should be able to make that morph even better.

    Had you memorised the rigging before adjusting it? Did you try doing the adjustment with the morph set on an unfitted version of the figure?
