Metallicjet 9 posts26 Dec 2005hi all, im pretty new to this site, and im new to animation, well, i have these 2 lowman(im using maya btw) im having them fighting each other, but when the red shirt, jumps over the opponent, and then falls, i want him to roll and try to get stable, but, since the hips are the center of gravity, every time i try to make the hips move to the ground, the hands also move, so when i have the hands on the ground, then later, it will move, so it will look like the floor is slippery, please help!!

26 Dec 2005HEllo there, that looks pretty neat, looking forward to seeing the animation. I persoanly have'nt worked with Loman, but is it possible to freeze the transformatons or lock the attributes for his arm, so the don't move? Other than that, you've got a massive keyframe job.

Metallicjet 9 posts26 Dec 2005hey, ive tried that already, but then again i dont wanna face doing that long way, anyone that used lowman for maya, have any ideas??? please help

26 Dec 2005I haven't used lowman - but I'm pretty sure the problem you have here is that you are using FK (Forward Kinematics) on the arm. Lowman should have an FK / IK (Inverse Kinematics) 'switch' on the arms. When you switch to IK the arms will stay planted in world space (behaving very much like the legs) which should solve your problem.
