Atmose & BoneArray
You ever think about how a clean bone chain can feel like a perfectly tuned drum loop? The timing, the swing… it’s almost like the geometry of a beat.
Yeah, that’s exactly how I see it. The clean line of the chain feels like a metronome in bone, each swing a soft drum hit that keeps the whole groove moving.
A metronome’s pulse, but without the random off‑beat clicks – each joint is a tick that must land exactly where the next does, or the whole rhythm collapses. It’s the only way a rig feels like a drum, not a loose chain of bones.
Exactly, each joint has to lock in, like a perfect drum kit. One off beat and the whole groove falls apart, and that’s when the whole rig feels off.
Nice analogy. Just remember, if one joint shifts even a degree, the whole beat—your animation—hits a flat note. That’s why I never skip the weight tweak. It keeps the groove humming.
