    Very helpful except a root bone in my Mixamo FBX that should not have been there but I was able to get it working, many thanks!

  2. Jango Unchained Avatar

    This does not work for models with more than 1 object in them. Like detached hands and feet.

    Freedom, I appreciate your value you bring to this community.

    Would you be able to make a tutorial in the foreseeable future about how to appeal the breast/butt bounce physics of a animated 3d female model in Maya once you got the chance?

    Thank you so much for your time
