Help with Bones

[dcahall]

I am trying to learn Bones. I have watched the tutorial several times but must be doing something wrong. I created a shape and added bones to it. I then copied everything to a new frame and modified the position of the bone. The shape does not change in conjunction to the bone. What am I doing wrong?

I have even tried editing one of the Bones examples but can not get that to work either. Starting to feel really dumb.

Can you upload your fun file so someone can look at it.

If you don't have a website and if your fun file is small, all you have to do is zip it up and use the "attach file" feature when you reply.

Here is my fun file.

I see what you're doing.

I think when you go to edit the bone in the second frame, you select the object and go to properties and select bones from there to do your editing. This won't work.

Here's what you want to do.
1.) Go into "Cartooning" mode
2.) Create a shape
3.) Add a bone to the shape
4.) Click on the plus sign to add another frame
5.) Click on your shape to select it
6.) On the "Tools" window click on the top right button and hold. This should give you two buttons to select. Select the second, which is for bones editing.
7.) Now edit your bone with this tool
8.) Press play to view the result

Thanks.......this is where I was going wrong. Becuase of the new interface, the old tutorials are a little confusing and I now see the error of my ways. I am looking forward to using this feature...
