Is there a way to nudge bones?

Post by unit613 »

I ran into a problem where I was trying to move a bone up and down in moho but only a small amount. I can move it with my mouse but my hands are a little shaky and end up moving the bone too much. Is there a way to even nudge things in moho? Similar in illustrator or flash where you can move things with the arrow keys. And sorry in advance if what I'm saying doesn't make sense.

Thank you for replying to my question, sadly when i try ctrl+ arrows keys or even crtl + shift + arrow keys it doesnt work for me. Maybe its something wrong with my keyboard

Move the bone using the Angle text box. With the bone selected If your at 90` select it by double clicking type say 95` (on your next key frame) This should move your bone to the left and of course lower numbers 85` will rotate the bone to the right. you can use smaller increments as well like 91` and change it that way for every key frame.
