No problems - its not your fault. Back to rsdanim.... What do you reckon to auto bone placement in rsdanim. Currently You have to create groups for the limbs & other bits of your model & then create bones that lie inside the points of the group. The likelyhood is that the group ends will be connected to other groups, so this already defines where the bone ends will be. This would work for "skinned" models as well since the bone end would be the average of all the points that exist in 2 joining groups. cheers Nick (S)
