Auto Bone Chain Interface

The Auto Bone Chain Interface is created by the IK from Objects and IK from Bones tools on the Rigging shelf.

Blend

Switches or blends between the transformations of several input objects.

Blend Sticky

Computes its transform by blending between the transforms of two or more sticky objects, allowing you to blend a position across a polygonal surface.

Light

Light Objects cast light on other objects in a scene.

Light template
