Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Bones

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

I started this page, but just realized I have no idea how to connect it up with the rest of the book... I'm also not sure it's in the right place on the contents list, I just put it there so it'd be somewhere. These things shouldn't be too big a deal yet because the tutorial is far from finished anyways, but if someone could connect this page to the rest of the book, it'd be much appreciated!

What do you mean by 'connect' it to the rest of the book?

In laying down the bones, what is subdivided - the cylinder or the armature? 206.248.152.37 23:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Subdivide the armature, to create more bones. Another method of creating a chain of connected bones is to Extrude (EKEY) from the tip of the bone. This lets you control size and orientation immediately --88.153.140.138 08:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Umm, when I'm parenting a bone to a structure, it says: "Loop in parents". Help, please!

If there's a loop, it means you either made the bone/armature a parent to itself, or you made the bone/armature a parent to something that is a parent of it already. check for that, or you could delete all the parent links. 74.185.212.232 (talk) 21:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Manually assigning bones

I can't find the "assign" or "remove" buttons. I am in edit mode. 74.185.212.232 (talk) 21:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I believe this should be moved to basic animantions. Shouldn't it?

[edit] Hat doesn't follow person

When I move the person, the hat doesn't follow.Bonapon (talk) 20:33, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Person does follow bones strangely

If i try to rotate or move a bone, the bone and part of the person scales also up a lot. is there a possibility to only rotate a bone to rotate a bone in a direction without scaling?
