detaching problems with skin

alright i got the whole thing skinned then i wanna detach parts so i can animate it, but when i do this is messes everything up :( any advice on this

I think you detach them before you skin them?

Im not sure on that though... so just reread the art tools documentation and follow it carefully.. that should help you rig it up right!

If thats not it ill test some stuff out later, let me know what happens...

3dbuzz has really good tutorials so i just watched a couple hours of them and now it got it down pretty good

so problem solved
