Re: New to the group and in trouble.

 I used to use Amiga 3D software.( Scupt4D, Imagine, Lightwave) All 
these programs began inverse kinemetrics with mesh forms first. A 
null object is used for easy path editing, but the bones were put in 
herearchies and the different parts of the mesh parented to them.
 I've only been using Blandera short time, so I am not by any means 
an expert. (I'm still working on what I can do with procedural 
textures.)

>   You should be thinking first about making your model, and then 
creating the skeleton to fit inside the mesh. Once you have both mesh 
and armature you then have to make the armature the parent of the 
mesh, and then.assign specific parts of the mesh to the relevant 
bone. If you don't know how to assign vertices then ask again.
