Total Beginner- Bones question

Post by jimmypagefan123 »

Ok, well i'm having a problem, and the answer is probably right under my nose, but I'm too stupid to find it. Well I have a character made up of 7 layers (including bone layer) and when I finally put all the bones on each part of the character, I try to manipulate the bones and the bone piece moves without the shape. For some reason, none of the character's body parts move except for the right leg. O.o So do you guys have any advice on what I do?

Be sure that all the layers are inside the Bone layer. Verify it by expanding/collapsing the bone layer. If they are outside then drag them inside with the mouse.

...and if that doesn't work, maybe you didn't bind the layers to the bones.

Select the Bind Layer tool.
Click on a layer (to select it).
In the workspace, click on the specific bone that you want that layer to attach to.
You have just bound the selected layer to that bone.

Repeat for each layer.
