This is the readme file for my Chains and Shackles pack.
If you want to do politically correct art showing the horrors of the slave trade you need chains and shackles. If you want to do adventure art you need chains and shackles to show damsels in distress so the hero can rescue them. If you want to do moral art you need chains and shackles to portray the bondage of the spirit to material concerns. If you want to do a King Kong type scene you need chains and shackles to restrain the beast. If you want to do erotic art you need chains and shackles. So here is a pack of chains and shackles.
Shackles have metal bars instead of chains. This was done to make the figures more posable and fittable to a variety of figures. You can lengthen the bars to change the proportions of the device to fit it to different figures. All of the major elements of the different figures are movable and posable in different ways.
The chain elements come with some figures where there is a wrist shackle attached to a chain to a ball. There is the same for a neck collar and ankle shackle. You can scale the ball and flatten it to set in a wall to chain a figure to a wall, or to a flor or whatever.
In the picture you can see a number of different figures in restraints. All of the restraints in this package were built around Victoria 2. As you can see from the illustration, they are scalable and poseable to fit almost any figure. The wrist shackles can be scaled up to fit around the neck, etc.
Some of the figures have the same geometry but the skeletons are rigged differently. It is easier to pose the ball and chain with the root on the shackle instead of the ball.
I did not include a lot of differently textured CR2s for these figures. You can use the wood and steel and other textures from the cages on these figures.
The picture is the same as for the cages package, but this package contains the restraints not the cages.
Unrestricted use, feel free.

One comment: in the Ankle Spreader w/Pen., why is the xScale of the center bar ("Spread legs") propagating to the right (AnkShklRtIn) ? It doesn't to the left (AnkShklLftIn), nor this happens with the other Ankle Spreader figure without the Pen.
Thanks very much again for your effort.
