i'm sure and sorry if this has been asked before, but i'm a fresh novice.

i just designed a torso and i added some detail inside of it but the points won't stay inside the torso. i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.
i tried to move it and the points that shaped my details didn't stay with my shape. another time i tried and certain points stretched along with the torso
but stayed in their original place. please help me and thank you for this awesome program.

Without seeing the file itself, I can only guess. It sounds like a binding problem.

Make sure all your points are bound to the correct bones. It may be helpful to review the sections on bone-binding in the manual.

Also make sure that your bone strengths are set correctly. If a bone's strength is too high, it can affect other areas of the rig. I mainly use point binding for my rigs, so I always keep the bones strength for all bones on a rig at zero. (Hotkey S brings up the bone strength tool.)

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
