Guide Style
|
Skeleton Structure and Volume |
Creates a complete biped proportioning guide that also includes volume controls (displayed as yellow splines with small manipulator cubes) which you can use to help you define and visualize the body’s volume. When you later create the rig from this guide, these volume controls are used to define the volume as set on the Skin page of Make Biped or Biped Dog Leg (Rig). |
|
Volume Controls Hidden |
Creates a biped proportioning guide that includes, but hides, the yellow volume deform splines. Using the explorer, you can find the hidden controls in a group called DetailedGuide, under the guide’s model. |
Symmetry
|
Full Symmetry |
Manipulates the corresponding control cube on the opposite side of the body in the same way that you manipulate the selected cube. This makes it quick and easy to set up matching proportions for both sides of the body at once. |
|
Asymmetrical Upper Body/Lower Body |
Allows each control cube on the upper/lower body to be manipulated independently from its opposite side. |
|
No Symmetry |
Allows all control cubes to be manipulated independently (no constraints between the controls on the opposite sides of the body). |
