Blender Books (read)

i was wondering if any one else was having or already did have this problem, that Blender introducing character animation with blender, wasnt very good. Like when i go to rig my character i will folo ever step but it never works i dont under stand. It dosnt even tell you one of the steps on adding a bone. Pissed

So far I have found the book very informative. Are you following the lessons in order or are you skipping around in the book?

That’s weird my friend. The book is pretty well nondumbeddown written so you can follow it with ease. I didn’t have any issues following all the book from start to end.

What’s exactly the problem , maybe we can help you out?

I find that the book is very good, but I have already done quite a bit of rigging, so whenever I get lost in one of his setups, I can quickly look back a couple of steps, and find the step that I missed.

I can understand, though, how someone who is trying to learn, rather than improve from the book could get lost, as there are no clear steps; he tends to work through a rig in about three paragraphs, rather than making clear steps for everything that he is doing.

As Encodi said, we can help you out if you want :slight_smile: I’ve got the book on my desk, so give the page number to whatever you are doing and I can try and help.

Well i am new to the rigging feild allthough i am a good modeler
i well eventually figure it out though :slight_smile:
ut i was just wondering if you guees though it was good

I keep getting lost on adding the head bones and giving them the constraints any help please.
