You have two buttons that may look similar but they have different functions; one is the Bones mode (that's the dog bone symbol) which is used for modeling. The other is the Skeletal mode which is used for animating. Make sure you click on the Skeletal icon (see pic).

Thank You. The TAOAM2007 even shows that icon and I totally missed. Sorry. Thank you. This is a very important part of the process. I will try to read and look at things slower.

[Exercise 3: Move it]

What am I doing wrong? Only the bones move, not the surrounding materials. I am following all the steps as they direct me to.

[Welcome A:M Users!]

I am currently working through The Art Of Animation Master. I have purchased Animation Master with the Picture of the Tin Woodsman on the front. I believe this is the 2007 version. It installed Version 13 and I downloaded the update 14c. I am on Exercise 3 Move It. I have tried working though this several times but I am not successful. The bones move, but only the bones, nothing else. If I render the picture, the arms, ears, feet, etc. appear the way they did before. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas? I attached a print screen of what this is looking like as I work on it.
