Bones as a control lever, how do I...?

Post by cabbage0896 »

I have been trying to figure out how to use bones as a control lever to no avail. and the manual does nothing to help my cause, does anyone know of a tutorial available for me to use? As a novice I just can't figure it out and the manual is no help. is there a youtube video perhaps anyone is aware of that covers using bones as control levers? can anyone point me in the right direction? I feel I'm missing something simple in the actions setup perhaps... anyone?..................

1. create a bone
2. create an action (it should automatically name itself the same as the selected bone in Moho12)
3. in the action create a rotation keyframe for the bone at a later frame (100 for example)
4. make animation at that frame.

back in the main timeline, off frame 0, rotating the bone will do what you did in step 4.
