<\/image> Bone Constraints (Pose- & Edit-mode)<\/h4>\n

The Avastar Rig tries to keep most of its complexity under the covers. The most important and unfortunately also the least understood part of the rig is its control bone section together with its set of Bone constraints. Here is a bit of information to shed some light on this.<\/p>\n

The (green) Animation Bones and the (blue) Deform Bones of the Avastar rig are closely related to each other. Actually the Deform Bones by default inherit the Animation Bone’s Transformation matrices. So the animation bone skeleton and the deform bone skeleton are like almost perfectly synchronized twins. You can see this best with Bone display mode set to Octahedral:<\/p>\n

The Green Animation Bones are the master bones used for Animation<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Deform Bones are used for Skinning (Weighting). They normally follow the green animation bones<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nDue to the Bone constraints the Deform bones can normally not be directly moved or rotated. So you have to move (animate) the Animation bones and weight the Deform bones.

However there are 2 situations where you want to change the default behavior:<\/p>\n
