Now, jump into the Front view and you will find the chain of created joints positioned between both legs. After making the bone for tip of the foot, simply right click to finish the bone creation process.Īgain turn off the ‘Create Bones’ button in the Bone Tools window to stop the bone creation process totally. Now, with the bone tool selected, start creating bones continuously from the Hip (1) to the tip of the foot (5) as shown in the following image. Click on the Create Bones button under Bone Tools and you will see the Bone parameters on the left side. So jump into either the Left or Right view and then click on the Animation menu and select Bone Tools. Now, we will start creating joints for the entire body, but we'll start with the legs first. Now, before closing the Layer manager, check on the 0 (Default) layer and then close the Layer Manager. So with the Character mesh selected in the viewport, click on the Freeze button (star shaped) in the Layer Manager settings box, as shown in the image below. Now we need to freeze the character also. This will help us when creating the bones because we can see through the body and then place the bones in the correct position. Now, you can see that the character has become semi-transparent. In the Object Properties window, under Display properties, check on the See-through option and then press the OK button. Now select the Character mesh, Right Click and choose Object Properties. If you click on the + sign, it will open the Character Mesh layer and show all the objects added inside that layer. Now, the selected Character Mesh is added inside the Character Mesh layer and is now also showing a + sign as shown in the image below. With the Character Mesh selected in the viewport, go to the Character Mesh layer, then Right Click and choose Add Selected Objects. Now, let’s add the Character Mesh to the "Character Mesh layer". Rename all layers as Bones, Character Mesh, Curve Controls, and Other Hidden Objects.

So double click or Right click on the layer and rename it. To create a new layer, click on the Create New Layer button.Ĭontinue clicking on the Create New Layer button to create 4 new layers. In the Layer Manager settings box, you can only see the default layer inside. So, first click on the Layer Manager in the main toolbar to open the layer editor. It will help you to select, hide or unhide the objects easily. In this step we will customize Layers to keep the objects categorically.
