Copying Joints from Another Figure

If you are creating a character that has similar size and proportion to another figure, you can copy joint settings from one figure to another. In most cases, this is only necessary when you are developing an original figure, and have made changes in the rigging of one version of the model (a low resolution version, for example) and want to apply the same changes to another version of the model (a high resolution version).

1. Load two figures into the scene:

• The source figure (ie: the figure you want to copy joints from), such as a low-resolution human character.
• The target figure (the figure that you want to copy joints to, such as a high-resolution version of the same human character.

2. Select the target figure.
3. Choose Figure > Copy Joint Zones From. The Copy Joint Zones dialog appears.
4. Choose the figure from which you want to copy the zones (the source figure), and then click OK. The joint zone settings will be applied to the target figure.
