Keeping Elbow and Knee Angles

AccuPOSE generally positions elbows and knees within natural ranges and angles. However, if the positioning feels too conservative or you intentionally want to break biomechanical norms, disable AccuPOSE adjustments.

  1. Create a posed character.
  2. Select the character and open the AccuPOSE panel.
  3. Reposition the character's elbow with the Control Panel.

    The dummy's elbow will be automatically set to manual translation.
  4. You can keep elbow or knee adjustments depending on the situation.
  5. Drag to reposition the hand. The elbow position will be computed, while ignoring the elbow and knee adjustment settings.
