Iiko

I for the life of me cant remember how to move the iiko around the scene! If i select all of him then the individual parts stretch and if i move the triangle under him nothing happens. Any help? :confused:

To move him around with the triangle, go into the motion tab, and click the stop button. He will go back to default post but you can move him. Beware, this might mess him up if you click it again (which you have to in order to animate him)

I know thats how you move him in the viewport, however i need to be able to move him throughout the animation.

how about using auto key
Also the Iiko site has motion tracking package

Thatโ€™s when you go into the motion tab stuff. Click on the triangle, click and hold the button that says โ€œAbsโ€ and select the first thing in the dropdown. Then click the stop button. It should turn to a play button and you can animate. When you do this, you cant move him around using the triangle though. To move him around after that, select his footprints and the first ring around his belly together.

For the iiko using the CAT rig, use the root node, which is the triangle at the feet. In CAT, you will need to create a new animation layer, and then switch to Animation Mode. In the tutorial videos on the Autodesk First Robotics site, there are examples of this workflow. The 3ds Max help is also good for a basic run through.

How about when i import the iiko into a scene and he comes out in a weird sort of ball. Is this just due to the sizing differences between the two scenes.
