EDIT2 (8/7/17): This tutorial might be revised for just PMX Editor only! I will try to get around to it!EDIT: Sometimes it doesn't always work. If it doesn't work the first time, Make sure the X Rotation bones say bone instead of relative when adding the child bone. Another method is retyping in the bone numbers for the X rotation bones parents and child bones. Hit enter so it registers. Thank you to for helping me explain this tutorial a bit better!
Here's another Tutorial That I made from first model problem experience. It took me a week to figure out so what I did to figure this out was to look at my other good working models. Β I hope this helps you.

Um.. I dont think i understand completely.. my pmx editor doesnt have a child bone option, only a parent bone. can you help me please?Β

There should be two boxes under the parent bone that say bone and relative. Make sure "bone" is selected. Not relative. That's what the child bone box is. The Bone box.

is offset the same thing as relative? I think it may be because i have the latest version?

well i think i did it but its not working. what do i do?
π: 0 β©: 0
Yes it is. I've checked my other PMX Editor. I have Two versions of PMX editors on my computer. I should be using the PMX PMX version and not the PMD/PMX version. So Sorry for the mix up.

okay and can you do a tutorial for pmx editor, i have a problem when i make a model, the clothes, shoes, hair and accessories do this thing that loos like theyre melting off the model??

Well I am really busy with other things, but I'll still send a screenshot. I have a busy summer ahead of me. Also I don't know what you mean exactly, but what I can say is make sure that you don't have any bones that have the same name.Β

im sure i have the right bones. but i will try to figure it out.

Ok I wish you luck!

I'm sorry, but this tutorial made absolutely no sense.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry. I know that my tutorial was hard to follow. You could delete the Existing X rotation bones and replace them with the Semi Standard bones plugin. OR make sure that the X rotation bone's parent bones are the arm and elbow bones. Try retyping in the numbers just in case.

I don't understand how to find out what number/bone the rotations are, or the "excess" floating bone points on the arms... ;n; It's really bugging me. I don't know what to do.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well there should be "PAR BONE" which is parent bone. Then there is Display destination which has two bubble options under it. Make sure that the child bone is "bone" not "Relative.

Omg finally, your tutorial was very useful! 8'D I was going crazy with all the other tutorials that just show how to use the semi standart bones plugin. Thank you <3Β

You're very welcome! I'm glad my tutorial was able to help you! I wish you good luck on your models!

I did exactly as this tutorial says, but It still didn't work! Can I send the model to you or something so you can fix it ;-;
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't fix models anymore because people have made me angry in the past so I quit fixing models for people. What I can say is that make sure both eye bones are working before working on the both eyes bone.
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand but what do you mean by eye bones? the x rotation bones keep screwing up for me and I'm really frustrated, cause many dances used the bone and it ends up looking gross... :-;
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh oops wrong thing well what I meant to say was you can either replace them by deleting them with semi standard bones or retype in the bone number of the arms and elbows.

Thanks for the tutorial!
I have a question,
Where can I find the Child bone in Latest PMXE?
π: 0 β©: 1
It should be near the in the middle of the bone tab and there should be two dot selections. One saying bone and one saying offset/relative. It should be under the parent bone box and has 1 box and then 3 boxes under it. The version I have is 0.2.2.2.

Ah,I see thanks!

confusing.. im trying doing with a kaito but idk how to do it x.x
π: 0 β©: 1
The X rotation bones need to connect to the elbow and wrist. Make sure the child bone is the number of the elbow and the wrist are the child bones of the X rotation bones. It should say bone instead of relative.

Thx For your help! I've been trying to find a solution to fix My friend's Model! and you save me!

You're very welcome

excuse me, may i ask you about your x bone, when you rotate it in transform view, it's only rotate on X axis right? (or only back and forth if i didnt say it right). because i noticed that my x bone rotate on all 3 x y z axises. i know that's why it messed up but i really dont know where to fix it. i tried to open the models that worked, but i couldnt find it anywhere.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm. Well I tested it out on my own models and the reason the bone is called an X rotation bone is because it looks like an X. Not that the bone itself only functions on the X axis. It should move for all 3 axises. The arms should move like they are twisting.
π: 0 β©: 1
i mean, other models arm's move like they are twisting yes, even i rotate x y z axis, it's only twist, not like the one in the tutorial( by this i mean the problem, not your fixed). but i still dont know why those models arm only twisted. but mine did not, althought i honestly dont know what was wrong. the worked ones and my failed ones looks exactly the same. they dont even have the drag glitch or anything. just didnt seem to twist right
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm.....Do the arms X rotation bones say Bone instead of relative in the bone tab?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
yea i conected them Β to their child bonesjust like you did
π: 0 β©: 1
It helps if you reenter the bone numbers again.

oh wow it actually worked!
that was such a lame bug, but magically worked lol
thankyou so much !!!
π: 0 β©: 1
You're very welcome! 
π: 0 β©: 1
so the problem was i just need to re enter it and press enter, i didnt know i have to press enter all the time. make sure you mention this to other people too
π: 0 β©: 1
That's strange, I don't usually press enter when retyping in the bones but I guess I can add a tidbit of information you provided. Thank you.

uh, I tried this...and her arm fell to the floor...I think I'm doing this wrong
π: 0 β©: 1
What? I never heard of that every happening. If you mean in transform view, I have another tutorial to help with that.

can you do this tutorial and upload it on yt? it would be helpful
π: 0 β©: 1
I technically don't know how to do that. Sorry.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, it's alright (I actually didn't think you'll respond kek)
Β I just can't seem to fix it. And I'm sure I made it right
π: 0 β©: 1
It's alright. I respond to every comment. I even say so in my tutorials at the end. I just don't have the software to record on my laptop. I might consider remaking this tutorial for PMX. I assume you're using PMX. Usually what I do is that I find the display destination option under the bones tab usually under the Par bone option and select "bone" rather than Relative. It should help just a bit, if it doesn't, I'm very sorry. My tutorial has a very vague way of explaining since it assumes you know what option to use.

ok so I followed the steps correctly yet the x rotation bones still aren't Β working properly
π: 0 β©: 1
Sometimes you have to replace them.
