Position the joints down the center of the geometry.
Tip
If you need to move the joints after the chain is complete, press the Insert
key. This allows you to move a joint without affecting others in the joint
hierarchy.
3.
The main part of the spine is constructed from six joints, starting with the base
joint located halfway between her navel and her crotch. The fifth joint in the chain
should be at the base of her neck, leaving the sixth and final one to be positioned
parallel to the neck but no higher than her mouth.
With the main spine done, create one additional joint out in front of her head, rest-
ing just outside her mouth.
You can see all seven of these joints in
Figure 11.5
