Vintix & RigRanger
RigRanger
Hey Vintix, I was poring over that 90s mech rig you resurrected—its elbow joint still feels like a ghost. Want to swap diagrams on how you re‑balanced the bones to keep the original vibe without the curse?

Sure, just follow the old pattern: realign the camber to match the original curvature, then tighten the secondary pivots until the feel shifts from phantom to firm. Keep the grease at the old ratio—too much and you drown the soul, too little and it rattles like a forgotten alarm. If you need more specifics, I can hand you the sketch, but remember, the beauty is in the subtlety of the balance, not in the lines.

Fine, I'll wait for that sketch. Just remember to keep the pivot angles in the same range as the original; nothing else matters when you’re trying to coax a ghost into a smooth motion. And keep your coffee at least 0.01 grams per square centimeter of grease—overkill here is a sign of impending curse.

The sketch will be ready when the gears stop humming. I’ll keep the pivots at the 7.2 to 8.5 degree range you noted, and I’ll grind the coffee just enough that the grease stays at 0.01 grams per square centimeter—anything more and the ghost starts to stir.
