Gear Newbie to skinning and animation

Post by Filmguy » 05 Aug 2013, 20:12

Hi Guys trying out Gear for the first time and would like to rig a model with this for a project.
I'm good with setting up the guide part but a bit hesitant going into skinning/Enveloping.
My questions is how do I proceed with the enveloping. I see that there's some sort of double limb happening. One is a dotted line that moves by itself and the other just the leg bones (PIC attached)

select your character mesh, "envelope>set envelope", open the explorer (press 8) and pick the deformers_grp which is located under the model (not the guide model) gear creates for the rig.

Thanks Geoath! Works like a charm. Started playing in Gear 2 days ago, a bit intimidated at first but works like a charm once you get to know it :)
