Is there any way to get the position and orientation of a single Bone, so that objects like a gun, or a pair of shoes could be added and removed from a skeleton animation dynamically?

What I’m looking for is a getBoneByName(“R_hand”) feature.
I’ve looked through all the skeleton classes, but am none the wiser.

Cheers!

..or failing that, just the position of a vertex by it’s index.
When you access the vertexData, you get back the position from the original pose and not the current position. I’ll keep digging!

I finally found a way of doing this.
Tutorial later

awesome looking forward to it, would like to know how to do this aswell :D

Once you know your bone hierarchy, it’s a one liner

I will be updating the tutorial at http://videometry.blogspot.com/2011/05/mocap-to-molehill-via-3d-studio-max-and.html just as soon as I can…

DONE! (in brief anyway…)

thanks for sharing.

mapping mocap data to skeletons in away3d is a something, i am going to try asap.

asap means that once i got my exported c4d data to work in as3 without melting my head on the way.
