Edição

In Pose Mode, bones behave like objects. So the transform actions (move/rotate/scale, etc.) are very similar to the same ones in Object Mode (all available ones are regrouped in the Pose ‣ Transform submenu). However, there are some important specificities:

• Bones” relationships are crucial (see Parenting).
• The «transform center» of a given bone (i.e. its default pivot point, when it is the only selected one) is its root. Note by the way that some pivot point options seem to not work properly. In fact, except for the 3D Cursor one, all others appear to always use the median point of the selection (and not e.g. the active bone’s root when Active Object is selected, etc.).

Criação básica de poses

As previously noted, bones” transformations are performed based on the Rest Position of the armature, which is its state as defined in Edit Mode. This means that in rest position, in Pose Mode, each bone has a scale of 1.0, and null rotation and position (as you can see it in the Transform panel, in the 3D Views).

An example of locally-Y-axis locked rotation, with two bones selected.

Note that the two green lines materializing the axes are centered on the armature’s center, and not each bone’s root…

Moreover, the local space for these actions is the bone’s own one (visible when you enable the Axes option of the Armature panel). This is especially important when using axis locking, for example, there is no specific «bone roll» tool in Pose Mode, as you can rotate around the bone’s main axis just by locking on the local Y axis R Y Y… This also works with several bones selected; each one is locked to its own local axis!

When you pose your armature, you are supposed to have one or more objects skinned on it! And obviously, when you transform a bone in Pose Mode, its related objects or object’s shape is moved/deformed accordingly, in real-time. Unfortunately, if you have a complex rig set-up and/or a heavy skin object, this might produce lag, and make interactive editing very painful. If you experience such troubles, try enabling the Delay Deform button of the Armature panel the skin objects will only be updated once you validate the transform operation.

Mode:Pose Mode Panel:Sidebar region ‣ Tool ‣ Pose Options

The auto IK option in the Sidebar enables a temporary IK constraint when posing bones. The chain acts from the tip of the selected bone to root of the upper-most parent bone. Note that this mode lacks options, and only works by applying the resulting transform to the bones in the chain.

Mode:Pose Mode Menu:Pose ‣ Clear Transform Hotkey:Alt-G, Alt-R, Alt-S

Once you have transformed some bones, if you want to return to their rest position, just clear their transformations.

Localização, Rotação, Escala Alt-G, Alt-R, Alt-S

Limpa as transformações individuais.

Todos

To clear everything at once.

Redefinir os que estão sem chaves

Clears the transforms to their keyframe state. This operator is also available in the Specials ‣ Clear User Transform menu.

Somente selecionados

Operate on just the selected or all bones.

Note that in Envelope visualization, Alt-S does not clear the scale, but rather scales the Distance influence area of the selected bones (also available through the Pose ‣ Scale Envelope Distance menu entry, which is only effective in Envelope visualization, even though it is always available…).

Pose as Rest Pose

Conversely, you may define the current pose as the new rest pose (i.e. «apply» current transformations to the Edit Mode), When you do so, the skinned objects/geometry is also reset to its default, undeformed state, which generally means you will have to skin it again.

Pose Selected as Rest Pose

Same as Pose as Rest Pose but only applies to selected bones.

In-Betweens Tools.

There are several tools for editing poses in an animation.

There are also in Pose Mode a bunch of armature-specific editing options/tools, like auto-bones naming, properties switching/enabling/disabling, etc., that we already described in the armature editing pages. See the links above…

Push Pose from Breakdown

Referência

Mode:Pose Mode Tool:Toolbar ‣ In-Betweens Tools ‣ Push Menu:Pose ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Push Pose from Breakdown Hotkey:Ctrl-E

Push Pose interpolates the current pose by making it closer to the next keyframed position.

Push Pose from Rest

Referência

Mode:Pose Mode Menu:Pose ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Push Pose from Rest

Similar to Push Pose from Breakdown but interpolates the pose to the rest position instead. Only one keyframe is needed for this tool unlike two for the other.

Relax Pose to Breakdown

Referência

Mode:Pose Mode Tool:Toolbar ‣ In-Betweens Tools ‣ Relax Menu:Pose ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Relax Pose to Breakdown Hotkey:Alt-E

Relax pose is somewhat related to the above topic, but it is only useful with keyframed bones. When you edit such a bone (and hence take it «away» from its «keyed position»), using this tool will progressively «bring it back» to its «keyed position», with smaller and smaller steps as it comes near it.

Relax Pose to Rest

Mode:Pose Mode Menu:Pose ‣ In-Betweens ‣ Relax Pose to Rest

Similar to Relax Pose to Breakdown but works to bring the pose back to the rest position instead. Only one keyframe is needed for this tool unlike two for the other.

The Breakdowner tool can be constrained to work on specific transforms and axes, by pressing the following keys while the tool is active:

• G, R, S: move, rotate, scale
• B: Ossos maleáveis
• C: propriedades personalizadas
• X, Y, Z: para os eixos correspondentes

Copiar e colar poses

Referência

Mode:Pose Mode Menu:Pose ‣ Copy Pose, Pose ‣ Paste Pose, Pose ‣ Paste Pose Flipped Hotkey:Ctrl-C Ctrl-V Shift-Ctrl-V

Blender allows you to copy and paste a pose, either through the Pose menu, or by using hotkeys.

Copy Pose

Copy the current pose of selected bones into the pose buffer.

Colar pose

Paste the buffered pose to the currently posed armature.

Paste Pose Flipped

Paste the X axis mirrored buffered pose to the currently posed armature.

Here are important points:

• This tool works at the Blender session level, which means you can use it across armatures, scenes, and even files. However, the pose buffer is not saved, so you lose it when you close Blender.
• There is only one pose buffer.
• Only the selected bones are taken into account during copying (i.e. you copy only selected bones” pose).
• During pasting, on the other hand, bone selection has no importance. The copied pose is applied on a per-name basis (i.e. if you had a forearm bone selected when you copied the pose, the forearm bone of the current posed armature will get its pose when you paste it – and if there is no such named bone, nothing will happen…).
• What is copied and pasted is in fact the position/rotation/scale of each bone, in its own space. This means that the resulting pasted pose might be very different from the originally copied one, depending on:
  • The rest position of the bones,
  • and the current pose of their parents.

Mode:Pose Mode Menu:Pose ‣ Propagate Hotkey:Alt-P

The Propagate tool copies the pose of the selected bones on the current frame over to the keyframes delimited by the Termination Mode. It automates the process of copying and pasting.

Opções

Modo de terminações

Modes which determine how it decides when to stop overwriting keyframes.

Enquanto são mantidos

The most complicated of the modes available, as it tries to guess when to stop propagating by examining the pauses in the animation curves per control (i.e. all F-curves for a bone, instead of per F-curve).

Para o próximo quadro-chave

Simply copies the pose to the first keyframe after (but not including any keyframe on) the current frame.

Para o último quadro-chave

Will simply replace the last keyframe (i.e. making action cyclic).

Quadro anterior

To all keyframes between current frame and the End frame option. This option is best suited for use from scripts due to the difficulties in setting this frame value, though it is possible to set this manually via the Adjust Last Operation panel if necessary.

Antes do último quadro-chave

Propaga a pose para todos os quadros-chave a partir do quadro atual até que não sejam mais encontrados.

Nos quadros-chave selecionados

Will apply the pose of the selected bones to all selected keyframes.

Nos marcadores selecionados

Propaga a pose para todos os quadros-chave que ocorrem em quadros com marcadores de cena após o quadro atual.

Quadro final

Defines the upper-bound for the frame range within which keyframes will be affected (with the lower bound being the current frame).

Mode:All Modes Panel:Properties editor ‣ Bone ‣ Viewport Display Menu:… ‣ Show/Hide

You do not have to use bone layers to show/hide some bones. As with objects, vertices or control points, you can use H:

• H irá ocultar os ossos selecionados.
• Shift-H will hide all bones but the selected one(s).
• Alt-H irá mostrar todos os ossos ocultos.

You can also use the Hide checkbox of the Bone tab ‣ Viewport Display panel.

Note that hidden bones are specific to a mode, i.e. you can hide some bones in Edit Mode, they will still be visible in Pose Mode, and vice versa. Hidden bones in Pose Mode are also invisible in Object Mode. And in Edit Mode, the bone to hide must be fully selected, not just his root or tip.
