Hey thats cool, have you got the bugbot rigged for animation? I would like to try my hand at animation, but I dont know where to start. How hard was it getting that small clip together?

7

oops i mean an year and a half:D The bugbot is not rigged yet still experimenting.
Not that hard i used an trick first render from 1 to 31 then switch camera and render
from 31 to 61 after that i used virtualdubmod

Help i`ve got some problems whit a bone
ok so first i set a key at frame 1 for loc then i go forward and set a key for rot
but when i come back at frame 1 the bone is rotated but it shouldand be what i
am doing wrong? how to fix it? im using blender2.4 rc1

If your gonna rotate a bone for a animation, the 1st frame should be keyed to rotation then you move to the next frame, rotate yout bone and key that to roate.

Or if your going to be moving, rotating and changing the size of the bone. The best thing to do is when you press (I) to insert a key chose (LocRotSize) from thepulldown window.

Keep up the good work. :wink:
