I am all over the place
« on: January 29, 2013, 12:32:58 pm »

Hi gang!

Every time I think I have found all the free 3D programs, I found another that makes my head spin.  Since my last post I have dabbled in the new Blender, Gamespace, Truespace and I am going to give povray a whirl!

All I am do is trying to make some mid-poly cartoon characters with bones.  kreator pointed me to one of his videos but, no offense, I think the model is too complicated as far as having too many bones. 

There was a posable guy who came with a walk and a startled pose. I tried to take a frame and get it to move. I got to the point where the bone got posed to a new place, but the depicted leg stayed behind. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

1:Make sure you have the Record button on, and in sequence mode

2: From the inital pose move the timeline forward five frames then move your Bone(s) to your desired position
 
3: Now advance one frame and the bone(s) will move to that position.

Moving figures in scene mode : Do exactly the same procedure.
