theeth, you;ll prolly be the one doin this, but i know there are others.
i need a tutorial on rigging mechs with amatures, so i can animate them, i have made a new one(as can be seen in the wip forum) and i want to rig it when it gets done, and i have never used armatures before. so i need to learn!!!
Rigging a mech is easier tha an organic.
Just one mesh and one bone for every rigid part. and Parent to BONE and not to ARMATURE.
The real tough part is constraining.
