I am trying to rig this helmet to open, basically just X rotate. I can get it into Poser, group it by the materials, and create 3 separate props. The problem comes when I attempt to create a new figure from the hierarchy tab. The created figure is all one prop, and dial spinning deforms it instead of opening like I want it to.

So I am looking for a decent tutorial. The one I found was a Poser tutorial that shows using the setup room and creating bones. I am pretty sure that there is an easier way. I had a really good tutorial on my old computer, but it's gone now. I don't remember who made it or where I found it. It was back when I was still using Poser 9.

Anyone know of a good tutorial that doesn't involve going into the setup room? I will if I have to, but I'd rather not have to go that route.

Here is the helmet. I Y-translated the top to show that it is two parts.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
