The bone we attached earlier? We are gonna click to to select it. Go into the animation mode and select your body part, remember Once that is set up, toggling each of your frames is actually Toggling this in theĪrmature mode will change the first frame for everything using that body part. I highly recommend the base body part you are going to frameīy frame is the first FIRST frame of the animation. You’ll notice you can toggle between frames with the dot by Part you attached the bone to, you are going to drag and drop your frames for To add your frames is also pretty simple. Hit the bone tool, drag and pull over your body part and it shouldĪutomatically link the bone to it. You want to add it to is the only thing you can click on (lock everything elseĭown).
