Hey guys, I'm a newbie in Blender, just wanted to try to rig my model which I made in wings3d. I was looking for some tutorials on the internet, and found some pretty useful ones, but those are a bit outdated, since it is a totally new interface for me, it is even hard to get the logic, how it is working, what is where...

Anyways, I just have completed the  upper body skeleton more or less and went to pose mode to see how is it working. The I faced the following problems... Parenting seems to be alright, but not the FK and not even the IK looks like working well. If any bone I move, one side starts to resize and move in weird angles, the other... let me show it on this screenshot:

Well, could someone please explain me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hello csaby

I noticed you said you watched some rigging tutorials that were outdated here is one that is more current to the newer Blender interface that might help Introduction to Rigging I hope it helps rigging is something I have yet to tackle hope it helps some 

Sorry about not directly answering your question, but I've been following this tutorial:

http://cgcookie.com/blender/2013/04/23/quick-rigging-with-the-rigify-addon/

...with reasonably good results.

Thanks for the answers in advance! I will check tomorrow what can I do! ;)

go with the rigify, thing will save you a lot of headaches

One new question appeared:

Should all objects grouped into one group (eyes, jaws, hair, props etc) for automatic weight mapping?

Cheers!

Solved!

I don't know why, but when I'm in Weight Painting, I can't RMB click and select bones, it suddenly switches to Object mode, selecting the Armature...
