MC_GEAR is backwards compatible yeah, the old rigs work the same - as far as my experience goes.

I found it wise to uninstall GEAR though, I had a conflict once.

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how to animate tails on custom build rigs? I thought animating "body_C0_ctl" would enough for the dynamic tail simulation?

I've used this a few times for similar ends (or tails ),



There's a few things to setup which are covered in the clip, and are not bad after doing it once
which is great for secondary anim while retaining directability.

(see end-result from 3:40)

If it's what you're after, Look for "Strand Spring" on Rray

Or you could try mt_spring. it can also be found on rray.

its not ice but easy to setup animateble while springy(!) and rocksolid!
i use it allways for stuff like tails or tentacles..
cheers

Indeed MTSprings is quite streamlined, and the wind/gravity controller is also pretty neat!

Thank you guys, I'll try both but for sure but mt_spring sounds awesome, wind/gravity controller is attractive:)
