How Do You Properly Assign Mesh To Armature So That It Won't Deform When Moved?

Hello does anyone have a tutorial that will show me how to properly assign mesh to armature? I keep running into issues with my characters arms getting deformed after I try and rotate them. I have Inverse kinetics setup and rotation on the hands. See screenshot : https://paste.pics/8PBE0

Thanks,

It looks like your in Object mode, try Pose Mode and see if thats gets you the results you want.

So I setup a walk cycle and when I click render animation my character is not showing up in the frames. Can someone please take a look at my file and let me know what I did wrong?

You disabled “view in render” under your char properties.

It looks like your rig is parented to one of the eyeballs. I think you must have clicked on the rig first, then the eye and did the parenting, which is backwards.
