With my model, The joints, like the elbow and shoulders, look extremely stupid when I get them moving because the joints pop out, leaving a space where they should be. How can I get rid of these spaces and make it look realistic in it's movements?

Sorry, haven't been on in a while, so I just saw this now. Anyway, this is Anim8or, and each body part is an individual limb. When the arms move at all, the don't really stay connected at the joints, they just seperate. How can I fix this.

Waste of time making individual limbs in Anim8or, you can't use the animations in DB anyway, so you may as well make skinned models, and render them to 2D. I haven't tried individual limbs, but the animations in Anim8or do not break apart when I have used it. The models will only break when made to do extreme movements. When making a skinned model you need extra faces by the joints.

It's ironic how badly Anim8or actually supports animation .

Each limb in an object has a unique pivot point, this is the joint - and if all the limbs are in position and their pivot points are not set, say they're in the centre - then you'll get this problem.

It wouldn't take long to rig up your robot if you fancy sending it to me - 3DS Max is the best program for rigging hierarchy animation IMO, just let me know what animations you need, or alternatively you could code the animations yourself with the rigged model. Once you load the model into DBPro you can offset the limb angles to make it move as if it was animated, quite a useful trick to know.

Well, I'm not completely done with the model, I was making the upper body and decided to test if my problem would happen, which it did. So, I'm still working on it, and I'll give it to you when it's done.
Also, thanks a lot for the offer
