Rigging Bones & Skin Help
show user profile  Silentrizz
Hi I'm making a rig for animations I will start pretty soon but I've hit a brick wall. The bending of the arm is very irregular and I wish it to be smoother. Does anyone know how I can do this? After I fix this all I need to do is the rest of the limbs and I'm done with the rig.

Link to my demonstration of my problem:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6T0TPQ6oNo

Rigging isnt as simple as placing bones and a skin modifier. The weighting of the vertices is very important. And besides that you wont get a good skin on an elbow without then using a 'skinmorph' mod after it correct was deformations the skin mod will force the mesh to do.

Could you point me in the right way to learn more about weight distribution and skin morphs? Thanks for your help guys.

I always use it.

Wish it were compatible with FBX (or Motionbuilder).
Have to use the skin export in BonesPro and it ain't always "clean".
