No, I'm not saying that what you're doing is incorrect. I'm just trying to give you a deeper idea about what's going on. Welding is not specifically the thing that makes your shapes move better. If it works for you, that's great (and I do expect that it would work). The more important point I'm trying to get across is about point placement:Toontoonz wrote:If you think what I am doing is incorrect then what is the purpose of welding? When and why should one use it?
As you say in the tutorial about welding: "The resulting shape is much cleaner and easier to work with:"
Bones move points, not curves. So, if you have two shapes that line up and you wanrt them to move together with bones, they should have points in the same spots as well. You can do this with welding, but welding is a tool - I'm trying to explain the concept, not just the tool.
