Mess with bones orientation

[bitterman]

As seen in the picture below Leyeaim and Reyeaim of custom skeleton are rotated at 100-110 degrees relatively eyecontrol bone.

Thus eyecontrol works wrong.

Few facts:

- custom model is facing to X+ in Blender;
- after this 'roll' values for every bone was changed from '90' to '0' (not sure about needs of this changes);
- bones orientation on custom model (which was maked in Blender) and on vanilla model (which was maked in Maya AFAIK) are different.

Any ideas?

Well, there are few defs in .def which affected on look behavior (look_joint, bone_focus etc).

It must be checked out before mess with transform orientation and roll.

I think there is no need to roll (or change transform orientation) any single bone in Blender.
Just create armature, then use "Child of" etc to rotate it along X+.

Another problem is:

During the transition from initial anim to a walk anim ('testmodel name' -> 'testanim walk') the custom model 'falls' through the floor. On the original model this transition occurs smoothly (linearly) in this case (pic.1).

Looks like the 'origin' bone has an offset in walk anim, but it's not (pic.2).

Why this is happens?

Thanks.

The custom model also falls through the floor whet it spawns (pic 3).

Hmm...

Use the testmodel command above the floor to check what's happening.  Maybe 1/2 way up a room.  Then you can see under it too.

Thanks, THF.

There is some useful info:
