The following describes the Pose tools that appear on the Pose Tools tray:
| Tool name | Icon | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Create Joint |
|
The Create Joint tool lets you create a joint on a model for subsequent use with the Pose tool. You interactively create a joint, specify its boundary axis for falloff, and the initial size of the area affected by the joint in one operation. For more information, see Create a joint. |
Pose |
|
The Pose tool lets you interactively rotate, translate, or scale the highlighted weighted region associated with an active joint. The region of influence for a joint is determined by the joint’s falloff and weight values. For more information, see Pose a model component. |
Weights |
|
The Weights tool lets you modify the weighted region that is associated with a joint by applying or removing color in areas you want affected using a paint-like workflow. For more information, see Adjust a joint’s region of influence. |
Move Pivot |
|
The Move Pivot tool lets you relocate the position of the pivot point associated with a currently active joint to affect its behavior in relation to the model components. For more information, see Adjust a joint’s pivot location |
