Capsule rotation issue

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to learn rigging and creating muscles in Maya. Right now I'm trying to set up my rig for muscles by creating capsules for each joint, but now my problem is that the capsule doesn't point toward the child joint, even though I made sure that the x-axis of each joint is rotated correctly towards the child joint. Does anyone know a fix to this or what I'm doing wrong?

Hey bsjagersma,

Looks like in your attached image that the rotation values of your shoulder capsule are not all set to zero. If that capsule is a child of the joint then by setting the capsules rotation to zero, it should orient it to the direction of the joint. If this doesn't fix the issue just upload the file and I can take a look.

Hope this helps.
