Hello,
I’mn trying to change a script that works with Objects to make it work with Bones. I’m having some trouble because, unlike objects, bones have their center set on the head of the bone. As a result, I am getting al LocX,Y and Z wrong.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to choose another point along the Head/Tail axis of the bone as its center?
Thanks a lot
Im not sure if this is what you mean, but when you go in edit mode and select your bone, press ‘w’ -> switch direction (or alt+f) you can switch the direction of the bone upsidedown which I think also changes the center point.
Just out of curiosity, what are you doing with bones that isn’t best done in relation to the bone head?
FWIW you could always calculate the middle as the mean of positions of head and tail.
nerd stuff. I have location and rotation values about the centre of mass of some objects. because I’m using bones as those objects it would help a lot to be able to change its centre of rotation - at least it would spare me of a lot of work with transformation matrixes, which I’m having right know
