i havent had iks up to now. but i changed the following: i deattached all bones from the mesh. i made a new head and replaced it. then i reattached the bones. constraints were the same as before. now suddenly i had different buttons to change the bone influenses. before i had to select every bone first, then i could do the bone influence, just for one bone at one time and and one mesh belonging to one bone at one time. what i am going to do tomorow is replacing my fullversion of the german c2, patching it with the german patch and have a look on the promlem again. by the way, the moving skeleton was defently not impressed by all the things i did up to now... sincerly yor benjamino
