You need to name your joints/bones according to that name list, then drop them into the mapping list (I think that you can select every bone and just drag drop it onto the top box called 'mapping list' and the bones find itselves in the list as long as they got the right name.) When that is done, press characterize and you get a rig for your character.

Hi,

Help, I have a question...
So once you have a rig that follows MB naming conventions. When you import that to MB, MB should be just automatically map it? You don't have to "drag and drop" the bones to the mapping list?

Thanks

Hi fbako,

You won't have to individually drag and drop the bones in to the "Character Definition>>Mapping List" tab, but you will have to drag and drop a character from the "Asset Browser" on to your character to characterize it.

If the bones are named correctly MoBu will populate the list for you.

Hope this helps

Cheers Mocappy!
