Hi.

I'm rigging a high poly dude at the moment.. :wavey:

most part of the body is relative easy to setup.. but I have a problem in the shoulder blade..

It seams to me that I can't figure out how it moves. what it is connected to... or is it floating? how does the muscles infuence on this bone?

If anyone can explain or have som usefull illustrations/photos etc. on this topic.. I'll be very grateful

Hope that someone out there has the answer :bounce:
