Thanks for watching! In this Blender tutorial I cover: How to create a skeleton (Armature) in Blender that lets you control / pose / animate your 3D character! This Tutorial covers the basics of armatures & bones, IK constraints & copy rotation constraints, parenting your character mesh to the Armature (with Automatic weights & to specific bones as needed), Weight Paint Mode, and posing/animating in Pose Mode.
