haha, hooboyo, here I thought that this was just not right, not being able to move around those hotspots eh... and all the time it was me who was not right... I had been opening my obj files as facet meshes, instead of vertex, which is what is required to gain said contro; for dragging those hotspots around... only took bout three days worth of turning this and that off and on, only to have the solution first dialogue box from open... hahaha... well... now I will be rock'n on with this bot eh... between you and me, I dreaded the thought of having to use another app for animation... Carrara Studio 2 might not be the world's best modeling solution ;) but... for it's really good for texturing, delivers superb renders, and is very friendly when it comes to animation... all the tools one could ask for when it comes to these types of tasks...
