I am animating a dog using Bones Pro and the hind legs are being affected by each-other's bones. When one leg goes back and the other leg goes forward, each leg gets stretched because the bone from the other leg is pulling at the mesh of the first leg. What can I do to fix this besides make my dog look bow-legged? Thanks. -James Franssen

I just got a reply friday from digimation for a bones upgrade to 1.5 that fixes this problem. I meant to send in my check that day, but I got swamped and forgot.

I don't know how long it has been out, the notice I got friday was the first mention of it I have heard.

Hi David! I just got our Dealer Notice yesterday! Here is the upgrade pricing: NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SELF PROMOTION!! I'M POSTING THIS TO ALL THOSE WHO OWN BONES PRO SO THEY MAY DETERMINE THE UPGRADE PATH. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR PARTICULAR DEALER WHOM YOU PURCHASED BONES PRO FROM IN THE FIRST PLACE! Having said that, here it the information I just received: "Since these are major program enhancements and not bug fixes, there is a slight upgrade charge." "The cost to up grade to bones pro 1.5 is listed below: Bones Pro purchased before 2-1-95 = $95 upgrade Bones Pro purchased between 2-1-95 to 3-1-95 = $45 upgrade Bones Pro purchased after 3-1-95 – FREE If a customer decides not to upgrade to Bones Pro 1.5 but would like the field rendering fix, they can get Bones Pro 1.1 for free by requesting it by calling Digimation. OK!….so everybody please contact _Your_ specific Dealers that you purchased from in the first place and it will be taken care of. This has been a public service announcement. Thank You. Murph'
