Handle
Handles had been hidden by default, check Display Handle
first.
Then switch to Select By Component Type
(hit F8), and click symbol +
to check option Selection Handles
Then you can move the handle away from the pivot, now you can select the joint by handle.
Another way to toggle the visibility of Handles:
Display -> Transform Display -> Selection Handles.
Annotation
Create -> Annotation:
Then select the Annotation and move it to the destination.
You can also modify the display name of annotation, and you can hide the arrow.
Joint Labels
Sekelton -> Joint Labelling:
You can add prefabricated label for single joint, e.g. shoulder:
or you can add empty labels for all the selected joints:
You can also change the label to customized label:
You can also change the label position:
Labels are very useful for motion capture while mirroring skin weights, use the label matching for more accuracy.
Viewport - Joints
Show -> Viewport -> Joints.
This’s very useful to hide the joints to highlight the motion capture data.
