Model Rigging Overview ​

Skeleton Introduction ​

External Humanoid Skeleton: ​

• Exclusive for External Outfit Models: Distinct skeletons are required for male and female models.

  Shared Animation Resources: Animations within this skeleton's library can be used across all external models.

Internal Humanoid Skeleton: ​

• Support for Internal Outfit Models: Skeletons need to differentiate between male and female for proper outfit model matching.
• Shared Animation Resources: This skeleton type also supports sharing animations within its library.

Hair Skeleton: ​

• Custom Hair Rigging: Skeletons for hair are custom-built, and bones can be named freely.
• Attachment Point: All complete hairstyles must be linked to the Hair_Root attachment point (a custom-built virtual body), ensuring the naming of the attachment point is consistent.

Dynamic Bone for Apparel Parts (Skirts, Sleeve Edges, Capes, etc.): ​

• Component of Basic Apparel: Dynamic bone parts are integrated into basic clothing components and can be rigged separately to achieve motion effects.
• Custom Bone Structure: Depending on the specific model, choose appropriate attachment points for constructing the skeleton and creating the attachment points (virtual bodies).
• Correct Naming of Attachment Points: All virtual bodies (attachment points) must be correctly named. Other bones can be customized as needed.
• Attachment Point Names:
  • Skirt Attachment Points: Skirt_Root (above waist part of the skirt), Skirt_01_Root (below waist part of the skirt).
  • Sleeve Attachment Points: Lower_R_Root (right sleeve), Lower_L_Root (left sleeve).
  • Back Attachment Point: Cloak_Root (upper body attachment point, such as for capes or ties).
