Add Tail

A tail in CAT is basically a long bone chain with a few special features built in to make it useful as a tail.

The tail is similar to the spine except that it does not end in another hub and has additional controls. A tail applied to a head could also act as a dreadlock, ponytail, horn, and so on.

A tail can have from one to 100 links. Tail stiffness is edited with the Tail Stiffness graph.

Procedure

To add a tail:

Select the hub to which to add a tail.
Do either of the following:
- On the Modify panel Hub Setup rollout, click the Add Tail button.
- In the viewport, right-click the hub and from the lower-left quadrant of the quad menu, choose Add Tail.
