that looks preety good there will I was wondering what they are going to turn out.

Basically I was trying to make a model with which I could teach myself how to add bones and animate. That's why the legs are straight out and on the floor. So far I haven't had much luck with the boning as I can't seem to get the procedure right. I can place the skeleton joints alright but can't seem to get them in the correct order with the correct naming schema and the correct geometry assigned to the correct bone.

I'm using poser. Maybe there are other programs that would do it better but the only other one I have is Hexagon 2 and I don't really know how to use it. I got it on sale at DAZ when it was $1.99 for their Platinum Club Members.

I wish AC3D supported Bones, placing and assigning geometry, even if it didn't do any other animation tasks.

hmmm maybe dennis might make a plugin for this feature

At least placing bones would be a big help. I want to use cal3d and an exporter would be so great.
