Hi Sageart,

it seems like you skipped ahead and might have missed this video.

Then here is the link https://github.com/waylow/boneWidget

Yeah, i did miss that part :(

Also i was watching the ball rig, if it's not to much to ask, could you please be telling what a bone is used for before adding it?

because you first rigged it complete and a fresh mind like mine will have to reverse rig the bones again just to find out the uses of each and every one of them.

Thanks for the help

i appreciate it

Hi sageart,

I'm not sure what you mean.
I show the completed rig first, with each of the controls explained and then I draw a schematic showing how it is all put together before actually building it.

Hi Mridul06,

You can do that if you like. The bottom_MCH is a child of the Bottom control, so it will function exactly the same way.

(there is always more that one solution)
