Minor problem in modeling - opinion needed!

[TheWhiteWolf]

Hello, I have encountered a major problem

When I try to rotate a bone of a model in order to animate it, the corresponding mesh is not only rotating, but also reducing in size.

Why is this happening and how can I fix this?

Please, I need an answer as soon as possible.

Bump :/

What program are you using for animating?
Sounds like an inheritance problem to me, could be wrong though.

It would help with some more information. Does your rig have multiple bones and do they inherit scale etc...

I didn't mess with inheritance... I am using Mdlvis.
Here is the download link. The arms are the problem.

Hmm, checked it out in both Magos and Mdlvis, I don't see the arms reducing in size at all :/

Try rotating in ZX plane in Mdlvis. Doesn't it look weird?

Let me correct myself. Another model was changing size, this one is actually moving (translation) when rotating the arms.

However, if you do not have such problems, could you just re-save the model and upload it for me?

I can't see any noticeable shrinking, maybe the problem you're trying to describe is that the arms are getting flatter during movement?

I looked at the bones and saw that you have attached some of the vertices of the wrist of each hand both to two bones simultaneously (wrist and finger, or wrist and elbow, it varies). That causes a superposition of the movements of both bones and the vertices may move incorrectly. Simply detach them from the bone you do not need.

Quite cretive model btw, I really like the idea and the attack and spell animations. Only toads have no scales.

Yeah, the texture is quite bad... I suck at texturing and uv-mapping

 

[NhazUl]

Oh come on, I've seen worse. So was that the problem?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

No, it's still acting weird :/
