Can I subdivide 1 big bone to several smaller ones ?

Post by saintbe »

Hi,

Let's say I have one big shape with one bone and all the points are binded to the bone.

Now instead of one big bone I would like to have 50 smaller bones for the same shape ... Is there a way to do this automatically/similar to the way you can do a 'split curve' on a shape to add more points to it ?

Just wondering if there's a way to do this ... ideally also linking the points automatically to it ... if that's not possible I'd already be happy should I be able to subdivide an existing bone :)

Cheers !
-Kim.

This sounds like a job for the new Sketch Bones feature in the 11.2 update. This may not be the exact solution you're looking for but it may be another option. Victor shows how it works in the vid below
