petunias bones

This page describes everything you can do with all Petunia's bones

If you have no idea who or what petunia is.. read this page first 

These bones are all basic armature bones and don't do anything too special.

The spine

The spine can be moved and rotated. There are no limitations but be carefull!
If you rotate too much A gap could show between the spine and midrif.

The midriff

You can only rotate the midriff bone, and it's not limited so you can do extreme things.
You can effectively rotate the midriff by just moving around the spine in stead of manually rotating it. But you are free to do either.

But also here, because you have full rotational freedom, be carefull not to do too much or it could be ugly.

The shoulder

The shoulder can be rotated in any direction, but is limited so that the shoulder meshes won't intersect.

The bicep

You can only rotate the bicep around one axis. This is somewhat limiting but it's just a result of the design of the shoulder joint.

The forearm

Because of the design of the joints the forearm can only be rotated along one axis.
It is also limited to make sure it doesn't rotate backwards.

The Hand

The hand bone can be rotated a little bit.
It can also be moved around and the entire arm will follow the motion of the hand.

The wrist

The wrist is a lot like the hand. If you move it the arm follows.
But special about the wrist is that the entire torso follows as well.
So you can use the wrist to make petunia really look like he's reaching for something.

The knuckle

The knuckle is a bit strange!
The thing is that each digit in the hand can only rotate in one direction.
So the knuckle is not used to "curl the fingers".
In stead you use the knuckle to spread the fingers.

The finger digit and tip

The single finger digit and tip can be rotated to curl the fingers only.

The foot

The foot can be freely moved and rotated and the leg will follow.
Be carefull though, the ankle can look pretty strange if you do extreme things.
A lot of the time the camera won't see it though.

The toe

The toes can all be rotated around one axis. The rotation is not limited.
A lot of the time you won't want to rotate them individually, but you can.
