Diplays bone via lines

Post by Pancho » 26 Jun 2012, 14:51

I've got this compound which works nicely when put on each envelope bone. It visually displays the bones size, position and rotation. As the rig got a lot of bones, putting the display compound on each bone takes a long time and adds about 15mb to the file. Also coloring one part of the rig gets difficult.

My idea: Just have one compound which reads all bone names from a group and then displays them. Unfortunately it doesn't work at all. putting in one bone via "in name" works nicely, putting in the same bone via a group doesn't work at all.

Somebody an idea to get this thing working?

Cheers
Thomas

P.S.: Calc Bone Vectors creates an array of point positions which visually represent a simplified bone.
