Rigging

Drawables can be rigged using either vertex groups (skinning) or Child Of constraints. The top-level Drawable object must be an armature.

Skinning

Skinning Drawables works the same way you would normally do it in Blender. Simply create vertex groups where each group's name corresponds to a bone in the armature. Then, add an armature modifier and specify the Drawable as the armature object.

Drawable Model setup for skinning

Linking bones to Drawable Models

Many Drawables aren't rigged using weighted vertex groups. You can instead link an entire Drawable Model to a bone by using a Child Of constraint.

Sollumz Tools > Drawable > Bone Tools

Use the "Add Bone Constraint" operator with the Drawable Model Selected to add a Child Of Constraint with the properties setup for correct previewing.

Example Child Of Constraint for a Drawable Model

By default, Blender sets the owner space and target space of the Child Of constraint to "World" (can be edited in the Sollumz sub-panel of the Child Of constraint). This can cause issues when objects are parented to both bones and other objects. Because of this, make sure to always use the Add Bone Constraint tool when creating Child Of constraints.
