The animator works with a character in which there is a skeleton. If you have a good platform then it has a menu where you can select a group of bones and their properties. This is done with the help of add-ons, which are enhanced for this: Rigify, BlenRig and others.


Option with a Rigify skeleton

But what to do if you have a platform, which is made entirely from scratch without the use of addons. To get this menu, you need to understand the programming, even a little. It's complicated and long, not for the entertainer. After all, I want to liven up and not mess with the menu. A great add-on comes along - Bone Layer Manager.


Addon allows you to customize layer names to the bones

Action plan:

Spread the bone chains in the layers.
Rename the layer name in the Bone Layers menu
