@theluthier How did you achieve this movement since the pieces don’t seem to fullfill the same movement so that the knee and shin guards are performing a kind of bending backwards. The adjustments are driving me crazy and things rather get worse than better, no matter what I do. In your video – allthough you mention that the different views never match 100% – things get better aligned than in my trials.
Especially aligning the thighs with the 3/4 perspective view is difficult (the angle between them by rotating them around their local y-axes as well as the correct rotation around their local z-axes (length axes)).
There are so many combinations of rotating and moving the parts in combination with the alignment of the camera. At least one element is always terribly off (the thighs, the calves, the camera and/or the orthographic side view ).
And if it looks reasonably accurate, I only need to switch to right side view in order to see that everything is extremely leaning forward.
Another difficulty is the distances between the leg pieces (without the hinges) and the lengthes of the pieces themselves. The thigh, for example seems to be shorter in 3/4 perspective than in right side view. Realigning the camera (lock to view) doesn’t help, too. I’ve no idea how to cut the Gordian knot.
