Impact it looks great. Did you get the turning technique off of the forums or did you figure it out yourself? If the latter I'd love to see a tutorial, if the former, can I get a link?

I figured It out myself, I would love to make a tutorial but im no quite sure how to go about it. I dont think i could really convey it with just words and im not sure how to do video capture.

Does anyone know any methods for screen capture?

"Snagit" is free but does not record audio that well but is workable. If you look at my videos where I am talking and showing AS stuff, its captured with snagit.

Search Youtube for snagit and there are plenty of tutorials.

Hey I tryed makeing one with cam studio, it didnt want to upload to youtube though due to huge file size. All the things on "snagit" seem to cost money too

I will upload it as soon as I can!

Version 7 and earlier are freeware you will have to search for a download.
Also, I suggest using a editor to clip the ends off the video and save to a format like Quicktime or even WMV. I think Camtasia is actually better than snagit and they are both made by the same company.

Either way you go you will still need to either capture the video into something smaller than uncompressed AVI or use an editor to convert and compress.

Love it. You definitely need to get the tutorial on. After using camstudio you can compress the file by re-publishing it with windows movie maker or converting it with AVC (free video conversion software called "Any Video Converter")

That's a useful technique you've described. Thanks for sharing.
For some context, the idea of using crossed bones for scaling in two directions has been discussed before:
"X" and "Y" Bone Scaling!
(Neat idea: Heyvern suggests constraining one of the bones to minimize distortion on the extremes.)
