Hello Mike Tsoupko-Sitnikov the Author! >>No BonesPro does NOT have a dongle. Get it and Enjoy! Thank you for not dongling the program. I got it and will definitely enjoy it. I've just had a little time to play with the Bones Pro and I love it! As I mentioned to someone else, I can't wait to see this year's Siggraph tape. <g> I'm building a big list of comments and suggestions that David said to send to him. I'm in a big work crunch right now but I can probably get it together next week. I had a little trouble when I tried about 20 bones in a hand object. The bones would move a lot but the mesh would move just a little, like the bones were not influencing the vertices enough. The Visualize confirmed this, even though I turned the influence WAY up. I made most of the hand a single element, but just attached some of the finger segments for a cheap shortcut. I ran out of time to experiment that day, so I have not yet given it a fair chance. With just this sketchy description, can you guess what I might be doing wrong? Thanks again for the great new toy! Most likely the most fun an old coot like me can get for $300. <g> JKJ
