Not everyone's models will be the same height, width, or even have the same number of arms and legs.
Here are a few extra things you need to do to adapt the rig to your own characters.
Here is a fancy character named AntWoman She will need to have the 2001 system applied to her.
The first thing to do is, while holding the Ctrl key, drag the Everything Bone from
PuttyDudeMillenium model on to the AntWoman mesh.
Switch tobones mode in the modeling window. Select the Everything bone
and press shift+J twiceto unhide all the bones under it.
Some of the bones dont match up! We will need to adjust the length
and position of the bones. For simplicity, lets work on the meshbonesfirst.
Hide these bones by selecting them and pressing shift+J :
ArmRight
ArmLeft
RightArmSteady
LeftArmSteady
SteadyArms
LegRight
LegLeft
Balance Feet Level
Balance Feet Center
KfootLeft
KfootRight
The only bones that should be left are the bones that will have the mesh applied to them.
Select each bone and move it to the proper position in the model.
You can move branches of bones by selecting them, press the translatemanipulator button,
and move them to the correct place.
Assign the mesh to the bones.
select the Everything bone and press shift+J twice to unhide everything.
In order for the setup to operate properly, the control bones need sizing positioning:
