why do you have to shape the bones?? is it better or something

[ward7299]

it's just a little easier to animate when you can see what you're doing a little better. for example, you'd know right away what bone was the head if it was shaped like a skull, rather than just a "stick" :D

Suggestion? Make a playlist. YouTube's suggestions don't always bring up the next in the list.

my elbow and knee joints dont move freely when i grab any bone in the spine. every things moves. and i cant get the elbow joints to work. any suggestions? :c

[BlackScream77]

its good to make bone shapes even though it seems tedious, so that you can simply import them for your second character and it'll make it easier to control your characters

[DGJerz]

Thanks, it works sometimes and doesn't work other times. I was able to watch it at some point.
