Little bone animation problem :(...

Hi everyone,

I made a little animation in 3D Studio Max of a hand I'll use in my FPS engine to hold the weapons. The only problem is that when I play the animation in blitz (3 frames so far, 0-2), I see the bones animate out of the hand, but the hand that I actually did animate, and that does change during animation in 3dsmax atleast, is just there. I know that the bones have to be hidden, but I just showed them once, and then I saw that they were the ones animating, and not the hand the bone is attached to. How come?, and how can I fix it? I put the keyframes at the bones, so that might've caused it?

use the correct plugins to export it.

I did use that exporter...

did you use skin rather than physique.
And did you uncheck sceneroot and have vertex weighting checked?

I did use skin to apply the bones to the model.

Sceneroot and vertex weighting? Where are those checkboxes?

Any help?

Those Checkboxes turn up when you export a B3D file. You can't miss them.

It was impossible to uncheck Add Sceneroot, but I did as the sceneroot tip said: Use FindChild(). And that did it. Now the hand animates, and not the bones (which now are hidden :D). Thanks for help!
