Using the Edit Pose Panel

Character Creator meets the highest standards of human bone structure and motion editing systems. Using HumanIK as the core character engine allows your 3D characters to now have automatic floor contact while the intuitive real-time IK motion control keeps the body balanced. By using the Edit Pose panel, you may then take the advantage of the HumanIK and create custom pose of all body parts of a character.

1. Create a new project and add a character.
   
2. Execute the Edit >> Edit Pose command to open the Edit Pose panel (shortcut key: N).
   
3. Select an effector point from the left dummy pane.
4. Use the tool to move the body part with gizmo.

   Select the chest effector point for moving the chest bone.	Move forward.
