I have a basic lego man, I made an armature, Xrayed it, named its OB rightarm, put it on my legomans right arm.
Then I went on my legoman and added a modifier "armature" made it's OB rightarm and didn't click apply. I weight painted my arm then tryed to rotate the armature and NOTHING of the arm came with it.
Does anybody know why this is happening?

Blender 2.49b (I think)

Remove the armature modifier.
Select the legoman, then add the armature to the selection.
Hit Ctrl+P
Click armature then create from vertex groups.

Select the armature, then enter pose mode.
Select any bone.
Now select the legoman and go into weightpaint mode. (The bone you selected in the previous step should be hilighted).
Paint something then go back into object mode.

Select the armature again (you should stil be in pose mode) and move the bone.
If the verteces you painted move you're done.

Smile and save the file.

as long as he's 1 object (can be multiple meshes inside the object) it shouldn't be a problem.

just the way I made him. Oh well, you want him? Actually if you do would you mind rigging him for me and then you can keep him? (both arms, both legs, 1 for the body, and 1 for the head will work fine if you do)



Theres a pic if you want him i'll upload the .blend file
