Hello all, I made a mesh for the first time to learn the software and now that it’s done, I’d like to practice with the bones to see if I can eventually animate it. The problem I’m having is that the tutorials are saying that all I need to do is press the bones button and build the armature, but I can’t find the button described. It doesn’t exist in the location the tutorials are sending me and I can’t find a preferences location that might be hiding it. I’ve included a screenshot of my desktop and I’m using 2.73a. Thank you in advance!
Armature doesn’t appear in the add menu or when I hit “W”
Ensure you are in object mode because you want to add anew object not a new mesh (edit mode)
Show us what you see using the Add menu.
W has nothing to do with adding bones
