I cant seem to get into the RIG mode at the top of my window.. help?

@misfit77ca Heya. That just sets the layout of the screen areas in blender. The default layout has all the areas that you need to follow the tutorial so there's no need to worry about changing it.

The 'rig' screen layout was just one I made to fit into the smaller screen area I had while making the videos. Hope that sorts it for you. Good luck!

[tobuslieven]

Yep : ). I wasn't going to bother with it at first, but I explain it in video 6.

Hello !

First, thank's a lot for this great tutorial !

It seems I have a little probleme with the action "foot_roll".

I do as the tutorial does and it works well, but when I close the file and reopen it later, the 2 constrains don't work anymore because the action desappeared.

I tried a lot of times, but it doesn't work.

I work with Blender 2.61 and tried with 2.59 with the same result.

Did have one (or some) example like mine ?

Thank you for your answer ;)

Tob, this has been such a useful set of videos, thank you for making them! I especially appreciate explaining how to do all the little extras like the widgets and action controls, you went the extra mile and I thank you for it :)

Could you put some links to the other parts of the tutorial at the end of this one? Thanks.

i have an object and i just want it to change in edit mode over a series of keyframes... how do i do that!??!

[Captain0Teino]

OK this video has made me unsure about rigging to completely confussed.

How did you get those done, how do you hide the bones or make them into blocks, and im still not sure how to get the bones connected to the body i made
