Could somebody please answer!

how come I can't see the root bone in the Action window? The reason I ask these questions is because I want to create an action involving jumping..I know that I'll need the root bone for this

I want a bone/null that moves the whole body somewhere. I noticed that If I create a bone that goes over every control point that is controlled by other bones, those bones are not activating those points anymore (see screenshot below). What is the best way to create a rig that moves the whole body?

It doesn't look like my avatar at all....In other words, I didn't edit that model

Haha. Yup. I don't have any big plans for the alien, it is mainly for my advantage of learning to model and rig. But I probably will make some shorties of him doing stupid stuff.

Oh! thanks a lot man!

comments would really be appreciated

Hey guys. I've finished with a one-eyed alien guy. I have a question about decals though...how come black won't show up in decals? is there a way to disable this? It wasn't a problem in this model, but in the future I know it will be...I'm saving the decals as a Jpeg. Do you think that's why? I also am pretty much finished rigging this guy...though I have a couple of questions about that that i'll ask later. Keep your eyes open for some animations

That's awesome! I'm guessing the strands inside the tubes are DNA strands? If so, each "string" should be a different color. Like, on the left and right side of the strands, they're both blue. I suggest making one blue and the other another color

Wow.You're doing awesome on this...great job

I'm starting to work on a shark head and I've gotten to the point when I'm sick of these "creases" appearing...(see screenshot below). How come this happens? The points are not peaked, so that wouldn't do it

That's pretty cool. How did you do a transition from one decal to another?

Now I see it. That's fabulous. Awesome job

Hmmm. Your pic is not showing...I'm sure I'm able to see cookies on my browser...

I saw his trailer...what do you see when you click on the trailer button

I'm guessing you're experienced with animation outside of this program right?

You're a newbie and you created that? That's awesome

Could somebody please help? I tried making a loop and it turned out to what you see above

I just tried a loop and this is how it turned out...I'm guessing it's because there are five point patches or more...

Wireframe...

I'm starting to model an alien head for an avatar on the has forums...The part I'm stuck on is putting a mouth on him that will actually have a tongue and teeth inside. And also I'm having trouble figuring out how to put eyes in....I've read tuturials on the has "tuturial resources, but nothing ever works for me...to help me, you might want the wireframe, so I'll post that up after this one:

I tried see if it would cooperate..it didn't very well...But, I think an arm bone wasn't actually connected to the forearm bone...that might be what made it look weird when I tried the bones before...I'm planning on rerigging the bones some other time...any more tips, comments, etc. would be appreciated

I have created a mosquito character...I tried to bone rig it, and it was tough work, but I did. And yes, I read all tuturials on doing stuff like that, but, I can't get the smart skins to cooperate with me...somebody PM me if they're willing to help:

Comments would be appreciated (*Hint*Hint*)

This is a model of a space ship I'm planning to use in a future short film....
