:x i modelled a character, gave him bones, asigned vertices to the bones and changed thoe bone names…i went into pose mode to begin creating an animation and my character did not move with the armatures, and the names of the bones had not changed. I’ve made several animations before. What have i forgotten this time. As far as I can tell nothing. Please help… :x
you didn’t mention that you make the armature the parent of the mesh and chose armature.
did you do that?
yup…i did that…
Maybe you got the order wrong…make groups>>name bones>>parent mesh to bones
<<edit>> actually as long as you save the parenting for last it doesn’t matter
OK, i redid the armatures and stuff and got it to work but ran into another problem. When i move an armature my characters limb(s) shrink. I have never had this problem before and have no idea what could be wrong. What do you guys think?
Select you character and apply the size/rot (Ctrl-A)
