What does Avastar provide?<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Avastar basically supports the creation of animatable Models (Avatars&attachments) and the creation of animations. Therefore the tool adds various functions and user interface elements<\/span> to Blender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The full functionality of Avastar can be a bit overwhelming on first sight. You should be prepared to spend some time and patience to get it all working nicely for your projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What does this Document provide?<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

This document is a quick start into Armature Editing. In this section you will learn how to prepare Avastar<\/em><\/span> for your work on non human meshes. We use a Horse as the modelling example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However this article only scratches the surface of Avastar’s feature set, so there is a lot more to detect and we invite you to make your own experiences as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We expect that you have basic knowledge about Blender.<\/div><\/div> <\/strong><\/h2>\n

This document is about binding a quadruped. We have chosen to use a spooky horse mesh (well, actually a skeleton) from neurocase at blendswap<\/a> You can decide to use it right away or just follow this document by using any other quadruped you like. There shouldn’t be much variation in how to proceed.<\/p>\n

And now lets dive into the fun part…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
