Introducción

Once an armature is skinned by the needed object(s), you need a way to configure the armature into positions known as poses. Basically, by transforming the bones, you deform or transform the skinned object(s). However, you will notice that you cannot do this in Edit Mode – remember that Edit Mode is used to edit the default, base, or «rest» position of an armature. You may also notice that you cannot use Object Mode either, as here you can only transform whole objects.

So, armatures have a third mode dedicated to the process of posing known as Pose Mode. In rest position (as edited in Edit Mode), each bone has its own position/rotation/scale to neutral values (i.e. 0.0 for position and rotation, and 1.0 for scale). Hence, when you edit a bone in Pose Mode, you create an offset in the transform properties, from its rest position. This may seem quite similar if you have worked with relative shape keys or Delta Transformations.

Even though it might be used for completely static purposes, posing is heavily connected with animation features and techniques. So if you are not familiar at all with animation in Blender, it might be a good idea to read the animation chapter first, and then come back here.

Colores de estado de huesos

El color de los huesos estará basado en su estado. Existen seis códigos de color distintos, ordenados aquí por precedencia (es decir, el hueso se mostrará usando el color del estado válido de más abajo en la lista):

• Gris: Predefinido.

• Azul (estructura): en modo Pose.

• Verde: con una restricción.

• Amarillo: con una restricción Cinemática inversa.

• Naranja: con una restricción sin objetivo.

Nota

En caso de que los colores de los huesos se encontraran activos, el color de estado será redefinido.
