Addning Joints (nodes) in Milkshape

by Tony Chamberlain · in Artist Corner · 01/22/2003 (5:13 am) · 1 replies

Well I have my vehicle the way I want it,but when I add my mount point as mount 0 and if I try to add any other joints they connect to each other.

Is there a way to keep this from happening, because one of my already placed jointed gets rotated when the new one connects to it. I have other model that I got from examples and the joints are connecting together.

This is the newest MilkShape 1.65(I doubt that matters).

Thanks

Ok I figured out - by not having the first joint selected - pressing F8 will create a unconnected join. I didn't know what F8 did, so here is a key shortcut list I found for Milkshape in some forums, I hope it might help some one.

ctrl+a................................ select all
ctrl+d................................ duplicate selection
ctrl+e................................ turn edge
ctrl+g................................ snap to grid
ctrl+h................................ hide selection
ctrl+i................................ invert selection
ctrl+k................................ set keyframe
ctrl+m................................ smooth model
ctrl+n................................ snap selection (no welding)
ctrl+o................................ open
ctrl+p................................ divide edge
ctrl+s................................ save
ctrl+t................................ texture coordinate editor
ctrl+u................................ unhide all
ctrl+w................................ weld selection
ctrl+z................................ undo
ctrl+3................................ subdivide face by 3
ctrl+4................................ subdivide face by 4

ctrl+left mouse....................... add to selection
ctrl+right mouse...................... delete from selection
SHIFT+left mouse.............. zoom viewport (move the mouse up and down)

shift+ctrl+a.......................... select none
shift+ctrl+e.......................... edit vertex
shift+ctrl+k.......................... delete keyframe
shift+ctrl+x.......................... flatten x plane
shift+ctrl+y.......................... flatten y plane
shift+ctrl+z.......................... flatten z plane
