I have been following the free rebelway tutorial on rigging, it was very cool until the very last bit. I was asked to rig a spring.



I did what I think is right, i skinned a tube instead and use rig attribute vop to control it, then I attribute transfer it to the spring. When I move the goal, some part of the spring, would not stay in shape and it became really ugly.

after painstakingly painted the weight for hours i got this. please give me some advice.


cheers

Hi

my advice when rigging spring is that apply bone deform on on curve it self and apply sweep after deformation, in that case wire of the spring will remain consistent.

besides that will be much simpler to weight paint it.

hope it helps
