Im not sure what this symbol is........
 

Could anyone tell me what these little yellow balls mean? This should be a Joint symbol.....

Thanks,

Jo

hmm.. not sure, but those balls are green. :)

do you get the same thing if you try to make the joint chain again?

Do you mean delete it and do it over?

no. :) just try making a joint chain sepaate to your character and see if the same thing happens again - that way you can keep an eye on it and see when the symbol changes and work out what it is.

i don't have too much experience with rigging but it looks like you maybe have something connected to it - maybe an ik perhaps?

but really, if it's not messing you up at the moment then i would just keep working.

by the way - there's some nice scary work on your site jo. :beer:

eughhh.... :)

I think it's an IK handle as arran suggested.

Thank you.... I'm going to investigate..... Its a tricky business aye!! ha ha, I think I need to come back to it tomorrow, I have been working with IK handles but all the other joints have avoided the grape's! Thanks for the compliments on my work!!

:D

Thats the symbol for a cluster?
Symbols inherit the shape node underneath it.

Did you some how parent the shape node to your joint transform, use the comman parent -add -shape cluster1 recently? :)

Yes. That symbol is for clusters. How you managed to get it in there without knowing, I have no idea. did you use a pluging or script to set some stuff up?
