every time i try to connet the bone to the eye it just does nor work HHHHGDFBHSHTSETHDFGBTB I HATE BLENDERR!!!!!!!!!  [HELP]

[ward7299]

i would need more information than just "doesn't work" to know how to fix your problem

[mysoulstudos]

i make a eye, get a bone in it, shift click it, hit control p, and hit bone, then i try to move it around and it is just the same as it was.....!!!!!

[ward7299]

i guess i'm still unclear on your problem. is it not rotating with the bone when you rotate the bone?

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I really like how even the errors and fixes you made and showed in this video also became useful tips for beginners. Anyway, just want to ask; is rigging using this method can be utilised in Blender 2.5+?

[nicolasbravo1235]

[kalzorath]

Hey, your tutorials are awesome,I learn alot from them, i am new to Blender.Btw do you have a rigging tutorial for your alien box model?

[Tazy50]

@TheYahmez You can, but to make the character go cross-eyed, you would have to bring the target closer/farther, which isn't too professional (but you can do that if you prefer it that way, probably) but I personally think that just scaling the eye target bone to make the character go cross-eyed

@ward7299 oh! haha sorry about that :D I forget sometimes that there's more than one of you doing the site. But i love your tutorials anyways! I love the one that teaches you how to use the Human Meta Rig, it really helped teach me IK constraints for the leg and arm.
