preventing distortion in attached props

bwise1701

I'm using the transfer utility to make head prop attachments which works fine except parts of the props either cover or hang in front of the eyes and are distorted when the eyes open or close. Is there a way to exclude attachments from some articulation so they behave more rigidly - I've tried transfer the rigging to the prop with the figures pose set to default and as current (with the eyes closed) - both seem to have the problem

 

thanks

Let's say the prop is a hat...and the brim is being distorted.  Look at the bones that transfered...are the eyes included?  If so, just delete them from the hat, they aren't needed.  You could play around with adjusting/tuning weight maps, but if the bones aren't needed in the prop, it's just easier to remove them.
