I am currently trying to animate a character and encountering a problem I’ve had several times in the short period I’ve been computer-modelling. I’m mostly okay with armatures, but every so often a bone won’t work as it should, and, instead of rotating the part of the mesh it is assigned to, it scales it, rotates it a little, and comes away from the mesh, as opposed to remaining in the centre. This seems to happen most often with toes and fingers.
I set the armature up by parenting it to the mesh and then weight painting, if that information helps. Attached are two pictures hopefully illustrating what i mean.
