Substitute geometry

Substitute geometry

In IK (inverse kinematics), the ability to substitute a bound piece of geometry with a different piece of geometry, even while maintaining the same skin weighting.

This feature facilitates a parallel workflow, where modelers, animators and Technical Directors can work on the same character simultaneously without having to redo the character's skin weights multiple times.
