Bones

[imamesh]

can anyone tell me why it wont add bones in Front View?????

here is a video to show you

nothing worst then being a newbie then getting stuck right at the begining
there is a little timer on the link, so you have to wait a few seconds.

when in front view when i click to add bones it jumps to the letter M
in the move rotation tool

Hey ... duuno whatsteh problem
Just forget about realtime adding ,
use the "+" on the numpad and realtime modify the bones that are created.
faster and easier..never really use the realtime adding.....

thanks but there is still a problem
now once i add a bone then i have to chose L Left view and move the bone upwards
then once i goto F Front view it only add bones going up with the + Num
i can't go across to the arms unless i change the view option.

+ Num add bones only in one dirrection

i haD to un install the program to get it to work
god i hate doing that.


in the video tutorial on bones he did real time add
and as soon as he started to click there was another pallete below the X.Y.Z
it pop up soon as he clicked
mine doesn't do that and it dont even show?

the video is so small it makes the text to hard to see
i can't even read what the pallete said on his.....

It looks like you had "Animate Immediate" turned on and had it set to "Immediate Available In All Modes." That would make it very difficult to add bones, because when you move your cursor it highlights the mesh.

Take a look in the docs on the Introduction page under: Interface--> Animate Tab. There's also a video about Animate Immediate at the top right of the Tutorials page on the messiah web site.
