basically when i try to manipulate the arm bone part of the torso (body) moves with it in the same direction...

[phoebemonster]

Maybe you attached the bones to the wrong points or something?

You mean a bone in the torso? Or some of the points in the mesh?

If a bone moves then the parenting is wrong.

If the mesh moves then you need to adjust the bone strength or add more bones.

There are two ways to use bones... Flexible Binding and Region Binding. These are described in the help files. You should read this if the bones are moving stuff they aren't supposed to.

Also read about parenting of bones and bone binding. Any of those may be causing your troubles.

to avoid this, i put all the parts away each other in frame 0.
then i put the bones, and go to frame 1 and move the bones to their real position.

[heyvern]

Or you can use bone offset in frame 0... same thing but you don't have that extra keyframe on frame 1.

Bone offset kicks arse. I use it a lot.

i'll try!

thanks vern

Oooohhh...

If you didn't know about you will like it.

Your technique of moving bones "away" from each other in frame 0 is actually described in the tutorials. You would use region binding on the bone layer for best results.

Then you turn on bone offset and move them all back... on frame 0. This gives great control over bone influence and doing fun tricks with extra bones.
