Thanks, the models, themselves aren't done. I still have to add some details and bones for posing as individuals. The tails are going to be the most difficult not sure if a chain is best for them. that's another matter. In the past, when ever I wanted to combine things all I needed was a generic connector bone that I could translate to and orient like the model bone that was attaching to it. But that was previous versions I have used. For some reason that isn't working.
I have another project where one ship is docked with another and so they can both move by moving the primary vessel. I haven't been able to get my approach to work. I was in skeletal mode and not choreography mode. I've done combo models before. I did a Robotech Aplha/Beta connection sequence and it was able to move as one unit without substituting a completed model of both. Again, that was so long ago, I don't remember how I did it...lol
I thought, if I brought it up someone might say something that jogs my memory
My intent is to be able to combine and then pose and do actions like swinging the sword. I'm thinking that, if I build the base skeletal structure for the combined model as part of the Black Lion, it should be able to support the goal I am attempting.
Thank you for the response!!!
