oh yes right, what program am I using.


Cinema 4D XL 7.20

it isnt as pitiful as u may think.

i once thought the samething..


Later.

Hey, there is definitely nothing wrong with Cinema 4d. Well, as long as you use 8.0. I''m actually doing an independent study animation right now.... and the results are really nice. I''ll be sure to post some of it later..

But any way, yeah, boning is a pain unless you use MOCCA. With MOCCA you''ll get some VERY pleasing results.

Also, whether you use MOCCA or not, download the documentation from their website. The first few chapters give a very good tutorial about boning in general, then they bone an entire human using MOCCA.

The pdf is at ftp://ftp.maxon.de/pub/r8/docs/c4d_r8_tut_mocca.zip

You should really ask your parents.

I believe that the proper term for what you are looking for is rigging.

oh! thats why they call it rigging!
