Oct 21, 2016 at 14:03 comment added Dhieen I think i found the solution! I made a triangle for each vertebra then parented the vertebra to the triangle, and all the triangles are parented to the rig by automatic weight! i.imgur.com/I5xK6Le.png
Oct 17, 2016 at 8:50 comment added m.ardito In your image I see some vertebras are upside down, you can just rotate them 180°, but some also get partly covered by the body mesh, in that pose... I recently followed another question (blender.stackexchange.com/questions/65111/…) where there's a similar issue with cloths over a rigged body, and the answer points to a video tutorial that could help you... look all the video but don't miss the end part, where there are "buttons" that need to follow the body without deform... and a solution.
Oct 16, 2016 at 22:19 comment added Dhieen I dont understand... I did this before, what is the difference? The vertebras are still in a strange position and rotation... i.imgur.com/eHYNzCx.png

Oct 14, 2016 at 14:47 comment added m.ardito updated answer, this is what I suggested from the start, applied to your model, with lots of references... I hope it's clearer now... ;)

Oct 14, 2016 at 12:20 comment added m.ardito yes, but atm I can't work on it... I'll try to do what I supposed above...
Oct 14, 2016 at 12:12 comment added Dhieen So now you know how it works?
Oct 14, 2016 at 7:20 comment added m.ardito let's se if someone else understand how to make me unlock this pose: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/64984/…
Oct 14, 2016 at 7:12 comment added m.ardito I'm sorry I can't find that setting even after enabling rigify... if I click regenerate rigify buttons, the skeleton disappears... I'm so noob at this.. :)
Oct 13, 2016 at 17:39 comment added Dhieen Yes it is the addon rigify!
Oct 13, 2016 at 11:02 comment added m.ardito I can't find that switch in the properties panel... maybe it comes with som addon?
Oct 13, 2016 at 10:09 comment added Dhieen No they arent deformed but they are not at the right place! and they rotate strangely... for the rig you have to open the "N" window and go at the rig and click for the IK
Oct 13, 2016 at 7:05 comment added m.ardito ? are they still deformed? or do they move around? I can't think what could be happening, your model seems quite complex... I' looked your .blend, now, I can't understand how to pose the rig, though, every bone seems locked...? sorry I'm not that good at riging...
Oct 12, 2016 at 21:19 comment added Dhieen i.imgur.com/cUeOR2y.png i.imgur.com/eIYKXZp.png Well... Its like... worse than before... i must have done something wrong!
