So today has been a bit of a up hill start, every stage of development has been met with a hiccup of some sort. After getting past the ordeal of learning how to navigate Maya having spent years on XSI I have spent today just learning some very basic stuff. Simple constraints of objects to characters shouldn't have felt such an epic task. But after giving up and finding a nifty little script I then dragged out the task of installing it... In the end I Youtubed it and found a quick demo of how its done.
The script was up and running, but wasn't working on my custom model *sigh. I proceeded to faff about with other failing methods before having another punt at using the script...which worked!
Anyhoo, I did manage a couple of hours of posing characters, I just need to iron out my warm up blunders such as forgetting to key, or keying the wrong frame. Always a pain when you spend ten minutes correcting a pose, to the flick through frames and realise 10 mins later your going in circles. Ah well, the ground work is down now I can drop In Some major poses, shame I have work tomorrow...
