Module Description
The Armatures module creates, edits and animates (poses) bone armatures using forward kinematic.
A bone is defined by its head (start point) and its tail (end point). Bones are organized in an armature structure that handles interaction between bones.
An armature has two modes:
- Rest mode: bones are added, edited or removed.
- Pose mode: bones are animated with forward kinematic. In this mode, the user can only rotate the bones around its head.
The module is split in three parts:
- The panel Armature controls the properties of all the bones of the armature.
- The panel Bones lists the bones hierarchy of the current armature.
- The last panel Bone controls the properties of the currently selected bone.
