**Only the b_ROOT_bind_ joint and some face joints can be moved (shortcut is g key on keyboard) All others should only be rotated (shortcut is r key on keyboard)**

Placing the arrows a reasonable distance away will allow finer movements of the limb. If you place your cursor directly over the joint when pressing r the dotted line will be very short and the effect of moving the mouse will be very drastic and difficult to control.

The longer the dotted line is the weaker the effect of your mouse movement will be.

The double headed arrow will have a dotted line connecting it to the selected joint.

This arrow will appear wherever you have your mouse placed within the view box

You will know the joint is ready to be rotated when you see the double headed arrow appear.

Once you've selected the joint click the r key on your keyboard to initiate Blender's rotation function. This will cause the selected joint to turn blue. To move a limb or extremity you must first select a joint by right mouse clicking on it.

This joint can be used with Blender's rotate and Blender's grab (move) functions.** **If you want to move the entire model use the b_ROOT_bind_ joint to do it. You can select it by just clicking on this line. If you want a motion to affect the entire model this is the joint to use. Click the plus sign next to the words b_ROOT_. Click the plus sign next to the word Pose. Over on the right click the little plus sign next to the word rig. This will enlarge the box on the right that the model is in while minimizing the box on the left that you Right click on the line the arrow is pointing at below. This can be the same as the name you gave the.

I covered how to make the animation clone in my other pose tutorial so I'm not going to repost the pictures here. They can be as simple as a single frame but for the type of pose used in CAS you will probably want it to be longer. It is not exhaustive so if there's something you want to know about the process that isn't here please post in the thread and I'll add it to this tutorial.Īll poses are animations. This tutorial will show you the way to use Blender to make a CAS pose for Sims 4.
