Liramaril Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi! Sorry, another question-- I'm using Blender 2.77 (probably should update, but I've tried to keep it old as I trawl through old tutorials) and Avastar (which is a much newer version than I used to have). There's a way to be able to manipulate the bones/pose the model in weight-paint mode, but I can't for the life of me find it. I've gone through so many tutorials, as well as tried the new workflow preset for weight-painting in Avastar, and I still have to switch back and forth to pose any time I want to move the model (and then weight paint a bit more). I used to know how to do this. It's frustrating XD Thank you for your time? I appreciate any input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrule Adder Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Just upgrade to 2.8. The features are stable enough that you can follow the tutorials just fine. Other than that. You need to select your armature, and mesh with shift click. Go into weight paint mode. You can select your bone by holding control and clicking. The standard transformation shortcuts will move the bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimoMaximo Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Better yet, make some simple animations to test the motion ranges, and move the time header in the time-line while in weight paint mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrah Abattoir Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 you have to make sure that you are trying to move the right bones, the animation and skinning bones are not the same and the skinning bones are constrained to the animation ones if i recall. as @OptimoMaximo suggested, pop in animation mode, and save a few "motion range type" keyframes then use the timeline as you weightpaint.
