Hello once again… I tried what you said with better results, however not satisfactory. I seem to be having trouble getting the animation to look how I want. I have spent quite a bit of time with bones and bend-aid, but I am either doing something all wrong, or I am expecting too much from the program. What I mainly have in mind is similar to the file that was uploaded (I can't remember the name of it or who did it) of an arm and hand that flowed very smoothly with all vertices staying where they should. I haven't been able to acheive that result yet, and I am on the verge of giving it up all together. I'm sure I'm making it way to hard on myself, but lack of experince and docs with examples (namely existing projcet files I can study) hinders me from getting results that I need. I've put in a number of hours with the programs, more than I probably should have, but can't seem to get the hang of it. Thanks for your time, I appreciate your patience and help. If by chance you could make up (or anyone else for that matter) a small project file with step by step details using bones and bend-aid, it would sure help me and anyone else having trouble. It would seem, however, that I'm the only one having the trouble anyway. Thanks again, keep up the good work, I'm sure most folks will find your program(s) very useful. Greg.
