I'm not familiar with your software you are using there, but you should be able to attach the vertices of your mesh to specific bones. Looks like you have the bones set up inside you mesh good enough... now just attach vertices of the mesh to the nearest bones and then you should be able to animate your mesh. Your software you are using should have some kind of functionality to attach vertices to bones.

I believe that to be the general idea. Mabie somebody else here familiar with that software you are using can shed more light for you.

if i remember right, you can only rig piece by piece in anim8tor. so your mesh needs to be in sepret pieces.i might be wrong but i dont think i am.

I'd help but I don't use the program you are using so I don't know how it works.

In Milkshape, you select the joint you want to assign a mesh to, then select the mesh, then assign the mesh to the joint. Once you do that you can move and rotate the joint and the mesh goes along with it.

MS3D is only like $25. Not expensive really for the features it offers.

Blender is free and has a super easy method to assign the mesh to bones: build your mesh and your armature much the same as in any 3d suite then parent the mesh to the armature and use the option "create vertex groups by bone heat"

It'll auto-assign and weight vertices to bones based on proximity, you can then go and clean up the vertex groups manually by weight painting, or assigning values to selected vertices.

That being said, a simple skeletal armature which can deform a mesh is not a true "rig". It can get the job done for posing and simple animations, but if you are wanting good, detailed animation do some searching for examples of good animation rigs with IK.

Master Man Of Justice, you might check out: CharacterFx

It is freeware and has some pretty good rigging and key framing options. It takes a few minutes to get use to, but there are a couple tutorials out there, and a few examples on the webpage.

There's something in this room that makes you can't speak well.

yea,CharacterFx should do the trick for you, but milkshape is the best bet becouse you can create any thing then you can rig them right into the program.
