Skeleton2D: Rotating bones shrinks limb

Sophie-La-Li

Hi there :-)

I try to introduce myself to 2D rigging right now. I want to rig an ant and already created polygons and the skeleton with all bones. Now i try to combine both.

The problem i face right now that rotating for example the ants head is not just rotating it, as i would expect, but also squeezes and shrinks it. Can you please tell me what i'm doing wrong here? I cant't find a way to tweek the bahavior. Reducing the weight on the vertices just makes it worse. I would really like it to just rotate with the bone keeping it's form intact.

My search for an answer was not fruitful, which is why i directly ask here now :-)

I made a recording of the issue here:

Sophie-La-Li Make sure that you assign the skeleton when it's in the rest position. Also check that you don't have non proportional scaling on any bones or polygons, ideally no scaling at all.
