Generated Rig Features

After human rig generation a new armature named rig will be added to your scene. This is the character rig you have generated from the human meta-rig and will contain all the features.

Limbs

Each limb will have a gear widget at its base. This is the utility bone that contains all the sub-rig properties. The rig features will be displayed anyway when the affected bone is selected but if you are looking in the Graph editor for those properties” animated values, this is most likely the bone to look at.

Depending on the user defined meta-rig options, multiple deform bone segments will be created. Each bone can be controlled by tweak controls placed at the respective bone’s head/tail. Tweaks are subordinate to the general IK or FK limb position but can be moved apart, twisted and scaled freely, even reaching virtually impossible limb shapes.

Rigify’s limbs have the following controls in the Sidebar panel:

FK Limb Follow Slider

When set to 1 the FK limb will not rotate with the torso and will retain is rotation relative to the root bone instead.

IK-FK Slider

Controls whether the limb follows IK or FK controls, blending between full IK at 0 and full FK at 1.

IK<->FK Snapping Buttons

To snap one type of controls to another use the appropriate buttons.

Each snap direction has buttons to update just the current pose, bake the whole animation in the current Action, or Clear keyframes instead of snapping. The buttons dealing with keyframes use options from an additional panel to control the range of frames to bake.

IK Stretch Slider

Blends between the limb stretching freely at 1, or having its maximum length constrained at 0.

Toggle Pole Switch

When set to 0 the IK limb will use the rotational pole vector (the arrow at the base of the limb). Rotating/translating/scaling the arrow will control the IK limb base. When set to 1 the classic pole vector will be displayed and used to orient the IK limb. The arrow will continue to handle the scale and the location of the IK limb base.

Similar to IK-FK Snapping, the row includes buttons to convert the current pose between types, or bake the whole action.

IK Parent Switch

Switches the effective parent of the main IK control, with different integer values corresponding to choices from a list.

The row includes buttons that allow converting the current pose via choosing from a menu, or baking the whole action.

Pole Parent Switch

Switches the effective parent of the classic IK Pole control.

Head

Neck Follow Slider

Este slider controla la aislación de las rotaciones para los huesos del cuello. Cuando es establecido a 0, el cuello permanecerá orientado como el Torso (el control de la caja grande). Cuando es establecido a 1, el cuello será orientado como el Pecho (el círculo grande en el área del hombro).

Head Follow Slider

Este slider controla la aislación de las rotaciones para la cabeza. Cuando es establecido a 0, la cabeza permanecerá orientada como el Torso (el control de la caja grande). Cuando es establecido a 1, la cabeza será orientada como el cuello.

Cara

Mouth Lock Slider

Este slider controla la apertura de la boca. Cuando es establecido a 0, mover/rotar el hueso de la mandíbula resultará en la apertura de la boca, cuando es establecido a 1 los labios permanecerán cerrados mientras se mueve la mandíbula.

Eyes Following Slider

Este slider controla la automatización de los párpados. Cuando es establecido a 1, los párpados y la parte inferior de las cejas seguirán el movimiento del ojo, dándole un efecto realista al personaje; cuando es establecido a 0, no ocurrirá ninguna automatización.
