Animation 'rig problem' I need help :(

[YammiJammi]

Hey guys, so I would like to contribute to making animations, there are so many animations that I'd love to see in the game but I haven't yet seen what I'm interested in. So I've taken it upon myself to start making them myself. I'm learning the basics, following WW tutorial and so far so good but I have one big issue...I can't find the root bone so the two models are stuck in place together. I've clicked every single bone and I can't find it.

 

I'm quite disheartened that I have only gotten this far, if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it, happy sinning everyone x

Hi!

Good luck with the animations,

The root can be found around the pelvis area, between the thigh bones,

 

You can also select specific bones via the list on the left of the dopesheet too,

Holding shift will also enable you to select multiple bones too,

This is possible using the rig or dopesheet!

 

Have fun!

You should checkout this thread for helping with your animations, I've made a very colorful post on page 2 sharing some control rigs that some people find easier to animate with. Along with some basic instructions on how to use them.
