Armeture

i am still looking for a simple step by step tut for armature rigging for
Blender 2.4… can any one point to a good one please ?

Hi,

Try the one from the manual

http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Manual

Your First Animation in 30 + 30 Minutes Part I
Your First Animation in 30 + 30 Minutes Part II

These two chapters make you model a Gingerbread man, texture it, rigg it and animate it step by step. :slight_smile:

Hope you will find that helpful.

Best Regards,

Hi Udayakumar

The modifiers can be found in the Editing panel (F9). Modifiers tab. From this tab, you can apply many modifiers to a mesh stacking them. You may for example miror your mesh of subsurface it, and… and an armature :slight_smile:

You will find a complete explanation of the new rigging features here:

Envelopes.htm is particularly interesting for you as it explains the armature modifier :slight_smile:

Hi,

You’re welcome :smiley: . The only doc I have is taken from the Tutorials in blender wiki site:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/Links

I also found the 2.3 book in a book store, but you can order it from Blender Foundation e-store:
http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/default.php

The Blender Wiki Site is the update of this book for version 2.4x. I think they will release all the content in a physical book once they finish updating it :smiley:

Best Regards,

thnx again fro the immediate reply !!
