Hello!
Please give me a tip how to put secondary motion on CAT tail.
I found a script that makes this, but unfortanately it doesn’t work with CAT.

I’m using 3ds max 2012.
Thank you in advance.

hi since its about CAT and tails. i thought i would add to this string...instead of starting a new one.

i got a rat walking and he raises up, i want to keep the tail moving from the catmotion layer....as he rises (rising up anim on abs layer with local weight on tail being zero) up it causes the the tail to penetrate through the ground.
the local/world adjustment layers aren’t helping.
i tried adding a catmotion layer but the rotation offset curves the tail instead of rotating it from its root.

i would appreciate any tip!

Thanks
D.
