hello to all
I m new to c4 and wish to rig a toon character. something simple to
start with, but efficient. I followed the eovia vids and other tuts
over the net and finally my best try at animating a skeleton was by
doing exactly as --lacathedral (a message from Steve?)-- described
in his message --http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Carrara/message/58941-

Unfortunately it did not work as I could not have the legs or arms
move properly using the 'target helper'.
what's wrong with my tries. Should the bones be placed in a
particular position ? I tried to straighten them, to bend them,
without any success.
Any tut or help be mostly appreciated
