Skinning

Im sorry to come post here again with my problems but i have been doing a character model and i am at the point where i am rigging him.

I have been following a tutorial intended for a Joan of Arc model but have made my own guy. same basic structure.

well anywho, i have my main body sectioned off and the knee is an individual mesh. i want to post a pic but cant seem to figure out how. (sorry >_<!)

The tutorial states to select the mesh that i want to skin and then shift select the 2 joints that will be affecting that mesh.

but when i do select the joints, it selects all of the joints from what i selected down. I selected the knee and it selected the entire foot. Is there a way to select one individual joint w/o going down the hierarchy?

thank you for looking at this, and if someone can tell me how to post pics i will! thank you!

to post pics go here www.imageshack.us and upload

i havnt seen this joan of arc tutorial but wen u do skinning u select the root joint (top of the hierarchy) which selects all the joints

so from wat i can see u are doing it correctly, watever joint the tutorial is telling u to grab to do skinning that joint should select all the other joints then u bind skin

i hope that's ok i'm still learning myself. good luck user added image

Pressing the up and down arrow will move you up and down in the joint hierarchy.
