adding to this, it could be usefull to have flexi-bones as well in the future...
the ability to turn bones into somekind of spine when you want to add un-realistic curveyness to a
bone...

the problem I have with animating bone length, is that it doesn't keep volume, so inevitably you need to tie in an expression or scripted op to the Y Z scale. It would be very nice to have this feature as an option in a future upgrade

Hi Simon,

I reckon you'd have to keyframe the length value in the ChainBone parameter.
I've found keyframing Scale of bones gives unpredictable results.

Hello all,

I'm sure I've done this in the past but I can't find it for the life of me.

I'm trying to scale a spine joint, to add a little bounce in there, but
don't want the bones above this to take on this scaling as well. At the
moment when I scale the spine everything above it comes along for the ride.


I thought it was Scaling Computation in the transform options but that
doesn't seem to fix it.

Any ideas please?

Regards,
Simon.
