Jiggle Bones, where to get

[Canadian]

how do i get it and how to use it? Is it like a rig

Not really, jiggle bones can be obtained by right clicking the model that has jiggle bones and then click on bake procedural bones. Give it a minute and you got a jiggle bones with bones you can edit.

You have to add it yourself via QC file. For an existing model, you have to decompile it and add the jigglebone attributes in the QC file. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$jigglebone

Though you need to import the model into whatever 3D mdoelling software you have and check the bones you wanna add the jigglebone onto for their own local axis so you can do it correctly.

I think OP word it wrongly. I mean, it sounds like he wants to know how to extract jiggle bones from a model with jiggle bones like say you want the holy mackerel (scout’s fish wrapped in a newspaper) to have a custom pose so you bake procedural bones and you have bones to control the jiggle bone. Hopefully you understand lol

This is why I hate vague question like this.

Unless you specify what you want with the jigglebone, you won't get any. Explain more.

Then explain what do you wanna do with the jiggle bone and we can gladly proceed to explain

It’s solves your problem, not the original poster’s.

Yeah, i don't really know what can have jiggle bones, p.s is nsfw stuff so not sure you can help me with it

So you want to turn existing bone into a jigglebone?

Most things can be jiggle bones*, although it has to be done at the model compiling stage, and there are naturally limits to them, so it's not necessarily a good idea to try using them.

*I've never tried with $boneflexdriver bones (but if you don't know what those are, you're almost certainly not using them), but my assumption is that they can't.

If we're talking about an NSFW model, that would be a fairly conventional choice, yes.

Still, I've been setting up breast jigglebones on some models recently, despite no intent to do anything lewd with them. The effect obviously does have some basis in reality.

(I've also been experimenting with automated procedurals that pull the breast up as the collarbone is raised, because this is all part of my "Do stupid amounts of work to try to make a model deform slightly more realistically in Source" project, which is of course somewhat undermined by my choice of some sort of dragon-thing as my test model).

yeah exactly, how to get jigglebones for the breast

It has to be done at the model compile stage; it cannot be added within SFM itself.

If you don't have access to the model's source files (source with a small "s"), this will require decompiling, which can potentially very badly break the model depending on how sophisticated the model is and how it was originally compiled, so even something like this can require seriously repairing the model.

The method also very much depends on whether the model has the breasts bone weighted in the first place.

We can point you at the decompiling and jigglebones sections in Pte Jack's guide to making/modifying models for Source...

... but there's little direct advice we can give without knowing more about the model.
