model wont atach to bones! I should know how to do this.....
« on: December 06, 2009, 02:15:12 am »
so its been a wile since I have 3d modled, but for the life of me I cant get the figure to move!

I created a bone, atached my human figure to it, then painted weights starting with my main bone working outwards, and the darn thing wont atach!  only the main bone moves the figure at a whole!

what am I forgetting?

thanks

Hard to say what the problem is.  Remember that the model won't bend in Figure mode, only in Sequence and Scene modes.

i think the most common thing that people do is they dont unlock the bones. u have to double click on each bone and set the limits. the default setting is on locked so u cant move any bones. so start clicking some checked boxes.

 Just in case, and its happened to me, check a side view just to make sure your human is not 'in front' of your rig, rather than 'on it', where it should be.   ;)
