Bone Constraints (Available in Pose mode and Edit mode)<\/h4>\n

The Avastar Rig tries to keep most of its complexity under the covers. The most important and unfrtunately 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) Control Bones and the (blue) SL Base Bones of the Avastar rig are closely related to each other. Actually the SL Base Bones by default inherit the control Bones Transformation matrices. Hence the control bone skeleton and the SL Base bone skeleton are like almost perfectly synchronized twins. You can see this best with Bone display mode set to Octahedral:<\/p>\n

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

The SL Base Bones are used for Skinning (Weighting). They follow the green control bones<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nDue to the Bone constraints the SL Base bones can normally not be directly moved or rotated. Hence by default you have to move the control bones and weight the SL Base bones.

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