You can add additional bones to the model when you're using Influence Volumes. Everything is recomputed each time that you change the bone structure.
As for the main part of the model rotating when you move the right hip or upper leg bone, I think that's a bug in Anim8or. The model is attached to the bone named "trex" and so any points not inside of an influence volume should not move when a child bone is rotated. The right side works properly (except it looks like the influence volume for the bone RightHip2 isn't large enough to include two inner points). The left side should work the same. I'll look into this.

Very nice 3D print! What printer dod you use?
As for boolean operations, Anim8or doesn't support them. I made a pass at adding it a while back but it got too complex and buggy. Maybe I'll give it another try!

General Anim8or Forum / Re: Layers question
« on: January 30, 2022, 03:52:31 pm »
Layers have two properties that can be very useful when editing complex things. You can show or hide levels, and you can lock/unlock levels. An example is a room full of furniture with a couple of people in it. If you put the room's walls, floor, etc. on one level, the furniture on another, then you can lock the room level when you want to arrange the furniture, adjust the lighting,etc., lock the furniture level to animate people, hide walls, etc.

You can also use the Topographical Knife tool to do this. Or you can first select the edges that you want to connect, then use the Edit->CutEdges command to split theme exactly in the middle, and then connect the middle points with the Add Edge tool.

Anim8or doesn't support photon mapping or path tracing in the Art renderer, so it cannot model the diffuse reflections that are required for images like this.

If you turn off the back-facing setting in the Point Editor (the "Back" button in the left hand toolbar) then the knife tool will only cut faces that are facing the screen.
This is not exactly the save as cutting only faces that you can see because it will cut through a mesh that is hidden behind another one, but it may help you do what you want.

It looks like there are one or more vertices that aren't assigned to the correct bone. I can't tell for sure form these photos.
