Skinned Animations

[JonMich]

Hey everyone,

As usual, I have another question for the master aircraft designers.

I am trying to get the skinned animations working on my model. The part is related to the control stick so it shouldn

[Fr. Bill]

Did you animate the bones with the I-K Solver?  Did you create and edit the envelopes?

[JonMich]

I am not sure about the IK Solver, do I need one? As for the envelops, I have set them up and the animation, bones, mesh and all, works in gmax.

[JonMich]

Two more questions...

Did you add a "Skin" modifier to your mesh, and then "add the bones list" to the mesh?

If you've checked the Envelopes, then I suppose you have added the "Skin" modifier, but it never hurts to ask...

Is your mesh object "closed?" Meaning, is does the object have manifold geometry?  That is, no open edges?
