Description:
Learn a new angle on content creation for Daz Studio by learning this exclusive technique of long-chain rigging. This method can provide unique and outstanding products!
Think about it - how would you create a tentacled creature, a snake, hair, a tail of a crocodile or a whip that you can pose and bend accurately and easily that has been rigged with numerous chained bones?
Presented by Sickleyield from the Daz 3D community who reveals her step by step process of how to create such multi-boned products. In this tutorial she'll show you how to have a whip completely rigged and set up with hand pose wearables.
The Figure Setup tab tends to be under-utilized and we cover this part of DS in detail during this tutorial.

- Importing an obj to the Figure Setup Tab
- Create a bone rig using the FST
- How to generate your mesh in the 3d viewport from the FST
- Essential workup and weight mapping in the 3d viewport
- How to ensure you properly save the new item
