One question however, once you have created the spring objects, is it possible to adjust the point they pivot around in order to fit it to my rig? I understand there is the option to scale the chain elements but the first bone doesn't seem to pivot from the center of the first null. Pete Hi there,

I tried to reproduce them on 6.02 but no luck. Maybe reinstall XSI or delete the user folder, I don't understand what you are experiencing. Good luck. @ justa_newbie

Never had a problem installing 3DQuakers or squid's UVLayout plugins...prolly some newb error on my part tho. Will keep trying. thanks, Richard…still having an issue just installing it via File->Add-on->Install (I can find the addon,

Say if you go at frame 5 and then move the spring base. Should work fine. still @ justa_newbie

Be sure to select the null and create a model before applying the springs (follow instructions on the video). Fantastic addon Helge. Thanks so much! ;) @ justa_newbie
