3D Animation/Rig Setup Tutorial - Making the Hell Hound - Episode 5 - The Blender action)

Hi folks it's been a little while since my last tutorial but I got some time to do another one. In this episode we're going to go over naming the Armature and each individual bone. I hope everybody enjoys and has fun.

Okay as we move on you're going to want to tab back into edit mode.
1.Go ahead and select the bone that you're going to name. (Note: Be sure to name the bone relative to its position on the model.)
2.Go to the bones tab.
3.Name your bone.

On this next part there's going to be less picture tutorial and more texts it was really hard to do this stuff in a pic.
1.Shift select all of the bones that you're going to be duplicating.

2.Shift d to duplicate the bones.
3.Press s on the keyboard, press the letter on the keyboard in the direction of the axis x,y or z that is the opposite of the bones that you have selected by -1.

Okay let's take a moment to think about what we've done. At this point we have duplicated one side of the body and put it on the other side saving us a lot of work. We still have work to do we need to go through and rename all of the bones that have been duplicated to the right side. I do my name's a bit different had I done them with just an L instead of left you would be able to mirror the names making it r on the right side. (Note: For more details see the video.)

Okay in the next steps I'm going to teach you how to straighten out the orientation of each individual bone.
1.Go to the Armature tab.
2.check the axis box.
3.press Ctrl n.
4.select the global orientation that is native to your model my axis is z.

It looks like we're all set up to move on to waiting the model. This will be happening in the next episode. As usual I will add a link to all my other tutorials below.

Bonus.

Thank you for watching you Steemers keep on steeming.
