Auto T-Pose and Bone-Mapping Method

In the Characterization mode , you will need to set T-pose and map at least 15 bones from the custom character to the Rl bone structure. If the character contains fingers, neck or spine bones, then you may even need go to the advanced mode for mapping these bones. Furthermore, if you know which 3D tool exported the original character, then you do not need to manually set the T-pose and mapping. Instead, you can apply a ready-to-use mapping profile for the bones. If you do not know where the character was made, then you need to manually map the bones.
