IK-Chain not deforming mesh
I just created my first IK chain in layout, as it was a test I just created a simple tube with 3 bones. Firstly I created a null called ikchain, then used '=' to add three child bones, upper-arm, lower-arm and hand.
I added a goal null, and set the hand bone to use this as the goal object. I set the hand bone to use full time ik and also to keep the goal within reach. Lastly I set inverse kinematics on all the bones and then made them all active. But when I grab the goal null and move it about it only moves the bones, the mesh doesn't deform. What am I missing? |

hmm, this seems to work fine when i set up the bones in modeler as skelegons and convert them. But not if i just try to add them in layout.

If you add the bones in Layout, you have to make sure you make the bones active. Go to the bones properties and you will see a check box that says something like "Bones Active". Check that and it should work.
