<\/image>Joint Position Maintenance<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The Joint Positions list is a subsection of the Armature Data properties window. It contains all Joint overrides which are currently defined for the active Armature. for a fresh (not modified) Armature this section is empty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An Example<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Lets assume we have created a new basic rig and we have only posed the mShoulderLeft<\/span><\/em> bone in a 45 degree angle with the Armature in Pose mode<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Lets further assume you have opened the Posing panel in the Toolshelf and located the Rig Modify tools. And finally you have decided to use the just created pose as the new restpose of your rig.<\/p>\n

Right after you clicked on one of the operators As Bindpose <\/em><\/span>or With Joints<\/span><\/em> …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Joint positions (Joint overrides)<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

… you will find the Joint Positions panel gets populated with a couple of entries (9 entries to be exact)<\/p>\n

You see that the mShoulderLeft <\/em><\/span>Bone and all its child bones are listed here. this includes the Collision volume bones and the attachment points. So by just rotating the shoulder bone you actually have created 9 joint overrides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lets take a closer look at the panel:<\/p>\n
