Fishy rigging
 

Hi, I'm having problems with my fishy in the tutorial. I'm trying to edit a skelegon in modeler but when I move the handle and save file, when I send it to layout, it still is in the wrong plane. Just like in the tut, the heading works in pitch but I can't seem to change it. I'll upload the file for someone to monkey with. I also seem to have other anomilies, I don't know if it's me or the application. please give me a little help. I tried Newtek but they don't seem to be alll that helpful.

Thanx

You might want to try working in the Local Coordinate system in layout rather than the Parent Cord. System... just as a quick fix.

Thanks, I'll keep working on that. I did some research ( Jonny Gorden's book - Cartoon Character animation) and found out that H-P-B all seem to follow a parenting system. Heading is the parent of pitch and Bank, Pitch is the parent of Bank. I was trying to adjust the pitch of the skelegon and turns out I should have started with the Heading problem by rotating that instead of first trying to get the pitch right. Also I straightened out the eyeball problem, I just didn't have them parented to the right bone. So at least I'm getting closer, thanks for the tip!
