Right View
(
View
→ Right
), select the ankle joint (only the ip, not the
enire bone), extrude it (
E
key), and then move it straight along the Y axis (
Y
key).
17. After adding the bone, we must detach it from the chain. To do this, select the new
bone, go to the
Bone
tab of the
Properties Editor
, locate the
Relations
panel, and
clear the entry on the
Parent
field (Click on the entry, press
Delete
, and then press
Enter
).
The names of the bones are the default ones, so the next step we should do is
change them to more meaningful ones.
18. Let's make sure we have the
Properties Sidebar
open, then locate the
Item
panel
to have it at hand. What we must do is select each bone, set its name, and then go
for the next one. These are the names that we must set:
Spine chain: spine1, spine2, spine3, neck, head
Arm chain: shoulder.L, arm1.L, arm2.L, hand.L, fingers.L, thumb.L
Leg chain: leg1.L, leg2.L, foot1.L, foot2.L, footIK.L (bone extruded from
the ankle joint)
Main bone: root (irst bone, siing in between the feet)
The following screenshot shows the names of the bones besides each one:
