Character Controls Figure representation

Displays an image of a biped character and all the effectors you can use to animate a HumanIK Control rig.

Once you create a Control rig for your character definition, the Figure representation biped displays cells for each IK and FK effector in the rig. These cells provide visual feedback on the pinning, reach, and pull defined for each effector, and also let you create and select auxiliary effectors and pivot effectors.
