Adjusting Character's Bones

In some instances, the use of Morph Slider, Transformer or GoZ , can cause the shape of the character to no longer fit its bone structure, which can lead to issues when motion is applied

It is because the bones and the mesh of the character does not fit each other well. This is due to mismatch between the bones and the mesh of the character.

The Cause of the Issue

In this case, you need to adjust the bones to fit the body shape of the character. Taking Creating Morph Slider guide as an example, possible fixes are listed below:

  1. Create a new project.
  2. Create a new morph slider with modified OBJ files.
  3. Increase the value of the slider to change the body shape of the character.
  4. Launch Edit Motion Layer panel by clicking the Edit Pose button in the Modify panel > Motion Pose tab, and activate the Bone Edit Mode.
  5. Adjust the bones and the defects become apparent.
