Once you have a skeleton with a valid skeleton definition, you can create a Control rig for your character. Characters must have a Control rig in order to receive retargeted animation.
To create a Control rig
- Load a HumanIK character with a valid skeleton definition. (See Create a HumanIK skeleton definition.)
- Do either of the following:
