Part IX: Working with Characters
FIGURE 39.6
The Hub Setup rollout includes buttons for creating connected legs, arms, and spine.

Note
For creatures with multiple arms and legs, the difference between the limbs is that a leg extends from the hub to
the ground and the arm hangs loosely. n

You can then select the pelvis, shoulder, or head hub objects and use the Add Tail button to add a tail,
wings, or ponytail as needed. Figure 39.7 shows a custom CAT rig created with only a few clicks. The rig
includes IK chains on both legs and FK chains on the arms. Fingers and toes could be added easily by
selecting the palm or ankle objects and specifying the number of digits.
