Rigging The Head & Controllers Rotation Problem

[MrNinjutsu]

Hey everyone,

Just a problem which is a little bit of an annoyance. I've followed the Introduction To Rigging section of the 3ds Max Tutorials to the tee, however whenever i rotate the head as captured below, the rig deforms however rotation on the Y axis is fine.

Is anyway to stop this?

Its defintely a rotational problem as whenever i rotate the rig whilst the character is skinned the whole model deforms and squashes. Please....anyone havea solution?

Okay so after worrying to the point of sweating like 5 pounds of weight i've mangaed to figure the problem out. It's the linking procress of one helper to another. When i unlinked it i was able to roated without deformation. But when i re-link, deformation occurs. So it might be down to the hieracy and the pivot points not being universal.
