Bones

[animation man hi]

I made a monster head and tried adding bones. when I added a bone to the lower jaw and moved my model into a chor and tried moving the bones the whole model moved instead of just the lower jaw how do I fix this.

Have you made sure the jaw bone is a child of the head bone!

A screen shot of the project may help.

Hi

 

You don't always need a body for this to work. I'm now in from work and I'll try to post a screen shot of something Im working on.

Thanks are their any tutorials on adding bones to a monster and not just a human.

Mechadelphia started making a tutorial for rigging, you can find the link in this thread:

It'll give you some idea on how to start, I'm sure. I'm not sure if he ever plans to finish them.

 

I would model the entire character before trying to rig it, but you can learn from experimenting, too.

How do I parent them

[thefreshestever]

when you select a bone and then create a new one it´s automaticly a child of it... don´t be afraid to experiment, you don´t have to if you backup your work...

How do I parent them

 

 

If you left click(PC) on the bone you wish to be the child, you can drag the bone and drop it on the bone that is to be the parent. eg drag the jaw bone and drop it on the head bone. This should automaticaly make the jaw bone a child of the head bone.
