How can I combine all my bones into one armature?
Go to the Object menu, >> Join (or Ctrl + J). That said, I hope you didn’t weight paint anything yet, because if so, you may have to rename some of your bones’ VGs. You can combine the bones into a single armature using the method Mike outlined.
Is there any way to merge two armatures?
Is there any way of “merging” the two armatures into one, or telling a bone “OK, I don’t want you to belong to armature 1 anymore, I want you to belong to armature 2 now”? With a project this small, it would be pretty easy to scrap the bones and start over, but in a larger project that would be throwing away a considerable time investment.
Are there two armatures on the left side?
I made a mistake somewhere, though, and ended up with the bones on the left side being in a different armature than the bones on the right side. So I have one armature with Arm.R, Thigh.R, and Shin.R, and a second armature with Arm.L, Thigh.L, and Shin.L.
How are four leg armatures connected in Blender?
But while the four leg armatures are all part of the same armature, they are not physically connected. To connect them together into a single entity, you will have to construct the desired connecting bones yourself. Thanks for contributing an answer to Blender Stack Exchange!
How to connect bones to other bones in Blender?
short story: select a bone, click the bone tab in the right side panel, then set its parent to a relevant bone and check the box “connected”. found a longer description/discussion (with pictures) here: http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/21239/join-bones-in-a-armature. edit: also, you probably need to join the armatures together first.
How do you connect bones to other bones?
So for example, you want the arm bone to connect to the upper spine bone – Select the arm bone first. Then shift-select the spine bone last. Then cntr-p and select connected. Make sure it’s tailside to headside. So in this case the arm bone should have it’s head facing the spine bone.
