Adding squash and stretch to the leg

00:04

With the leg, you can take the same approach as you did with the arm,

00:08

just use the value in each joint's translate

00:11

Y attribute to get the initial leg length.

00:14

But make sure you add in that extra joint.

00:17

Now I'm not gonna go through the process of

00:19

building that all again because like I said,

00:21

it's very similar to the arm.

00:23

So what I'm going to do now is I will update that and I will be back in a second.

00:29

OK? All the limbs are now set up with full squash and stretch abilities.

00:36

The spine is working too.

00:39

There are a few things I need to point out before we move on.

00:43

If you open the node editor on this file,

00:46

you will see that I've added these extra tabs.

00:49

So you can see each section's network and are able to pick through it.

00:55

Let's look at the arm.

00:57

So with this, make sure you also connect the twist joints too.

01:01

So they scale as the arm stretches

01:04

with the upper arm joints don't add volume preservation

01:08

into these or it will look too thin.

01:11

You can however, add it into the twist joints

01:16

with the legs also include the twist joints

01:19

and also remember

01:21

to connect the driver joints too.

01:23

All the legs won't stretch correctly.
