Hi raft,

Is there a way to get the length of different bones in Bones API?

have a look at chase's skeleton helper (http://www.jpct.net/forum2/index.php/topic,3300.0.html). it has a getBoneDirection method, which you can modify and use. ie: do not normalize the result vector and calculate length of it.

Thanks raft so much! This is wonderful :).

Another question popped up. When I'm galling getTranslation() function, in which units are those numbers? Are they meters, centimeters or even worse pixels?

Thanks again for your help!

neither one. they are in world units. that means they are in whatever size they are modelled in 3d editor
