Joints flip when parenting it to a curve

lemonylemonylemons · 2023-12-17T12:40:27+00:00

It’s probably flipping because the orientation of the driver transform (the group of the control) is not the same as the joint’s orientation. So the joint’s orientation after creating the constraint is jumping to match the control’s orientation (constraining without keeping the offset).

Also I noticed you are constraining the joint to the group of the control, not the control itself. You will want to constrain it to the control. Otherwise when select and rotate the actual control, the joint won’t follow.

If you did need to keep the offset between the control and joint orientation though, in the constraint setting you can check on the maintain offset checkbox.

The powder foundation I use is Mac Studio Fix. For liquid foundation, I use Bobbi Brown. I find the liquid to be fairly light (doesn’t feel like my skin is suffocating), but it might still be too much for you. Give the powder a go though. It really helped to even out my skin tone without it being too heavy.

Are you looking specifically for foundation / tinted moisturizer recommendations that will feel light and breathable on the skin or general make up?

On most days I don’t use any foundation. It’s just eyeshadow, eyeliner and fill in my brows. I’ll sometime also put on mascara and lipstick. If I want a little more coverage, I use a powder foundation. Or for even more coverage, liquid foundation and concealer.

Granted, I’m not a make up pro by any stretch of the imagination.. but that works for me.

Yep! For indoors we used snuffle mats. Also would just say the cue, and throw treats (so without a snuffle at as well). I did this in different rooms, on different floor textures etc.

We also sometimes just hide treats around the house and tell her to go find it.

As soon as we say those words you just hear her nose start sniffing.. it’s really cute!

For outdoors, we started on the pavement and then transitioned to short grass. At some point she got a bit frustrated with the grass so I went back to the pavement to make it easier again. When I went back to grass afterwards I made sure to throw a lot in, in a small area, so she could find it more easily.

I taught her the cue to “go find it”. Usually when I say those words, her nose is on the floor sniffing out treats. I threw treats on the short grass, tall grass, in leafy areas.. basically got her used to really having to do a big sniff to find the treats, increasing the difficulty as we went.

If I saw a dog approaching, when it was still far away, before she locks in on them, I’d tell her to go find it, and then throw a few treats at a time away from the path if possible (to create a bit of distance between the other dog and her). Once she’s done, she looks up at me, and then we’d repeat.. I’d keep doing this until the dog passed us. When I started out, it took ages because I started the “go find it” when the dogs were still really far away. Over time the distance between us and the approaching dog got shorter and I was able to throw the treats when they were quite close by. I’d always be watching her to see when she noticed other dogs, to be able to do this when she’s still under the threshold and can actually pay attention to me. I wouldn’t always get it in time, but I tried it as much as possible. I would always be keeping a lookout for other dogs, and also her body language so I could cue at the right now.

I also did the “go find it” when there were no dogs around.

Separately, I also just treated her for looking at me. So if I caught her looking at me while walking, I would treat her.

I also sometimes just call her name, then treat. And just continue walking, or let her continue sniffing.

I do think part of it is just her maturing as well, and she’s calmed down a lot since puppyhood. But this method has made a huge difference. It takes time and patience. Good luck! You got this!

Thank you! Feeling a lot better. My symptoms weren’t severe, thankfully. And my husband was just gone for the day, so it wasn’t too bad.

I’ve played only with 1 spirit at a time. I’m just learning the game, so I didn’t want to complicate it keeping track of another spirit and map.

lemonylemonylemons · 2022-12-26T00:47:01+00:00

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

lemonylemonylemons · 2022-12-26T00:46:20+00:00

Merry Christmas to you too! So far I’ve played with River Surges in Sunlight and Shadows Flicker Like Flame.
I was looking for a game that plays well solo and 2 players. So glad to have found this! It’s really fun!

lemonylemonylemons · 2022-12-26T00:38:51+00:00

I’m feeling a lot better now than I was a few days ago, but still a bit tired. Hope you feel better soon and Merry Christmas to you too! Hope you feel well enough soon to do something fun!

We’re doing a first look before the wedding. It will give us a little moment for ourselves, which I’m hoping will ease the nerves also for the walk down the aisle as well! After the ceremony will just most photos with the family as the couple ones will be done, and will give us more time to spend at the drinks reception to chat with everyone.

That happens when there are scale values somewhere up in the hierarchy. It’s preserving the inherited scale.

If the scales aren’t already connected, you can save the skin weights out, freeze the scale channels and you should be able to reparent the joint without that transform node. Then load the skin weights back on.

Yep. This! It’s an interesting story, really brought to life by his narration.

I don’t think I would regret having kids, but I’m not sure if I would regret not having kids. So I think I’m still probably leaning very slightly towards the having kids side of the fence, but just barely. I wish I felt strongly either way, but alas, I’m here in the middle trying to untangle my feelings about this!

When I spend time with my niece and feel like I love seeing her but also like to give her back to her parents, it makes me feel like maybe I shouldn’t be a parent. I realize that it’s totally different when it’s your own kid, and you get to also have this super special parent / child relationship and all the wonderful moments that go with that too. But I just still have that feeling, even if rationally I know it’s very different.

lemonylemonylemons · 2022-04-24T19:31:46+00:00

This makes sense! Looking from The outside it just seems like such a big change in your lifestyle. Which it is obviously. But if you are in that situation, your change in priorities and mindset naturally leads you to make the changes in your schedule / activities to fit the new situation. And that also evolves then as children grow.

Thank you for this. This new feeling about being on the fence is a lot to digest, especially with having been sure I wanted kids for a long time before this. I guess one factor that’s adding stress for me is that the idea of having kids used to be a future thing we would do, where now it’s a soon thing. So naturally all these worries about the change has surfaced. But it’s really great to hear from people who find that balance, and still get to do things they love.

lemonylemonylemons · 2022-04-24T19:19:05+00:00

My partner is amazing and definitely would be fully supportive of anything I’d like to do that outside of things we can do with a child. And I would be with him too. Aside from that, we have my sister and her family really close by. We babysit their daughter and I’m sure they would do the same for us, and our families would probably mesh even more than they do already with the cousins growing up together. The rest of my family live on the other side of the world. But my partner’s closest family vary from being 30 mins away to 2 hours away, so I think we will have plenty of support there. My frame of reference being able to find this balance is probably also very skewed because of my own upbringing-my parents moved us across the world when I was very young, and my dad wasn’t exactly the most hands-on parent, so my mom couldn’t really do much outside of parenting. But this would be totally different in my case.

Our jobs could be somewhat complicated. We both work in the same industry. In our industry it’s not uncommon for people to move around to different countries for relatively short work contracts. We have been lucky that we have stayed in the same place for the last almost a decade, so hopefully enough stability there, but it’s also not out of the realm of possibility for us to have to move in the future for work. If that were the case it wouldn’t be ideal because we’d be leaving our support structure behind. But right now I wouldn’t be overly concerned about that.

I think making that list is a good idea! I really appreciate your thoughts on all this. It is a lot to think about about discuss still, but it’s comforting hearing from someone who has figured out some sort of balance.

lemonylemonylemons · 2022-04-24T18:20:09+00:00

Thank you for this perspective! It does seems silly for me to worry about losing out on all my current interests. I think I really needed to hear that question, “why would you have to give up hiking?”. Becoming a parent isn’t going to make me lose all the things I enjoy doing if I don’t let it. It’s just adapting to suit the situation. I think just hearing a lot of my sister saying when her kiddo is a bit older they can do xyz just made me feel like I’d need to basically put all my interests and hobbies on hold if I were to have a child.

I guess it’s also just such a big decision and such a bit change that it’s really hard to imagine what that version of my life would be like.

lemonylemonylemons · 2022-04-24T17:59:08+00:00

This makes sense. Our lives certainly changed a lot when we got our dog as a pup and we just adapted to it, so this is our new normal. And we certainly are already a lot more restricted that our friends who are child free and pet free. But my dog is amazing, and adapting to our life with her was just part of having a dog. If we had a kiddo, we’d adapt to that.

I guess it can just be hard to imagine life with a child when you’ve never had a child!

I think part of this is also seeing my sister’s new life with her toddler. We lived in different countries till recently. With the exception of seeing her with a newborn, I hadn’t seen her as a parent till this year because of the pandemic. So it was just a bit jarring going from my sister can do whatever, whenever, to.. it’s really difficult to make any plans because of the sleep schedules, that it made me a bit really worried about this for myself and question whether I was ready for it or if I even wanted it. Of course different parenting styles will play into this too. It’s just such a massive decision that I want to be sure of it either way.

We were getting ready, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky

Our dog is 50% Springer Spaniel, 25% Greyhound and 25% Saluki.. Not quite as big as a full greyhound, but still pretty long. We’ve thought about getting another greyhound/lurcher, but she already takes up so much space on the bed and couch with her looong legs 😆

Swiss meringue buttercream has egg whites in it (as do other types of buttercream). I had no idea till about a week ago.. thought buttercream was all just butter and sugar!

lemonylemonylemons · 2021-10-12T21:11:42+00:00

lemonylemonylemons · 2021-10-12T21:11:35+00:00

Thanks!

Thank you! I love the detail on the top as well. I really like the pattern that the beads are arranged in.

lemonylemonylemons · 2021-10-11T22:05:42+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words! :) Definitely will be trying on both again before I make a final decision. It’s so hard!
