Howdy,

Well, if you move an object and its axis doesn’t move with it, then you might have the Axis Tool mode enabled.

Howdy,

Well, a toon shader works off of the falloff so its effect is camera dependant. Baking to an image won’t give you the same effect.

Howdy,

Are you scaling with the Model Tool Mode or the Object Tool Mode?

Howdy,

You can skin each mesh only to it’s respective joints. If the model parts are not supposed to bend, then you need to create a different rig than what you’re showing in the screen shot.

Howdy,

It’s difficult to tell what the problem is without an example file to load into Cinema 4D.

But typically, it’s not a good idea to try to constrain IK’d joints. The IK and then constraints then fight each other for control of the joints.

Hehe, well when you do rigging all the time, you begin to notice the little obvious things. ;o)
