Thanks for tutorial Mr. Hermes. But i have a problem. I do what you do but object is turning 90 degrees when moving ant stay still. Freezed Transformation, Deleted History but nothing changed. Can you help me about this please?
Hi Mike, is there a way to limit the extension of the piston rod? Ideally in a manner that allows the piston to be oriented at any angle and still maintain a max extension behaviour (i.e. not using the limit information tab under attribute editor, as this only works based on world coordinates).
hey @ginger did you figure this out? ik it's an old comment but I'm currently trying to do that and it breaks the aim constraint and i'm having a hard time finding resources on it EDIT** figured it out. If you want to use this method in a rig its better to add two joints facing each other with aim constraints on, then just parent the geo to the joints
I rigged a character in Maya LT 2016, and imported the test animation on my character, but I can't seem to get rid of the test animation character that was imported. how do you delete characters from Human IK? Thanks
Wicked Tutorial! Could you Do an Extension of this for piston like rig with multiple averaging parts. So like a piston if it had a bunch of collapsing sections to it. I've tried to figure this out myself but i end up with a lot of cyclical errors.

Man u hv got every solution for problems in maya tq...
Pretty much :-)
this is a very smart way ..........thx nicely explained
Thank you

Absolutely, you just need to put in limitation values on whatever axis you want to limit ( check my door and window rigging video )
very smart sire.
Thanks a lot for this, really helped out.
Thank you! Life saver
Thank you!
+Киря Хмурый You are welcome
thanks! easy to understand.
Woah, Constraint-ception. I didn't know that was possible :)
Won't that cause some sort of loop?
Okay I’m working on a giant robot and was wondering if after to to that, could you anchor or parent the pivot point to a joint in a skeleton rig?
That can be done, yes

+Carson Child Check you outliner and make sure character and IK are no longer parented. Then delete the character

Currently traveling but I will see what I can do
Thank you very much!
Take your time, its not for a pressing project or anything.
I really appreciate it.
you are awesome !! i will subscribe you. thanks very much.
Thank you so much
For some reason, when this is exported into unreal it messes up.
How did you export it ?
How can i add a spring like in car suspension
Use blend shapes
can I do that with bones?
Yes you can
Thanks
What's a piston
very informative, but not the one i need right now
Thanks
my aim keeps rotating
