Use Blender to customize 3D models and/or rig them.In this mode, Unity converts each model and animation into a "universal" rig, allowing just about any animation to play on any humanoid rig. However, Unity's Mecanim animation system has a mode called "Humanoid". Then the animation that specifies "move LeftArm 90 degrees" won't work on it. The animation will specify rotations such as "move LeftArm 90 degrees". For example, say you have an Orc with this rig: Historically, skeletal animation has been tied to a specific rig. (BTW, in Blender, rigs are called armatures.) Blender has an automatic rigging feature called Rigify. The act of adding a rig to a 3D model is called rigging. Blend shapes (aka morphing) deforms the mesh.There are two common ways to animate a model: For example, a non-animated rock might only have a mesh. If the left arm bone moves, the left arm part of the mesh follows it. Very roughly speaking, each bone is tied to part of the mesh. A 3D model consists of two basic parts: the mesh (i.e., the skin) and the rig (i.e., the skeleton).
