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.
