Layers, Bone Groups & Selection Sets
====================================
.. _bpy.types.Armature.rigify_colors:
:ref:`Armature Layers <bpy.types.Armature.layers>` are usually used to isolate bones.
Rigify can take advantage of armature layer to generate extra features and the user interface for the final rig.
Rigify layers are displayed in a vertical layout inside their own separate panel named Rigify Layer Names.
Color Sets
==========
- The first column shows the layer number.
- The second column is a display toggle.
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_metarigs_color-sets-panel.png
:align: right
:width: 300px
This toggle controls the armature layer visibility.
It has the same effect of enabling/disabling the layer visibility from the top armature layers menu.
It is just redrawn here for a simplicity.
The Color Sets panel is used to define the bone color scheme for the final rig. The colors from the list
can be associated with bone collections from the relevant panel.
- The third column sets a specific layer name to be used to build the rig UI of the final rig.
If set, a button with the specified name will be created in the ``rig_ui_template`` to control the visibility of
this specific armature layer. If layer contains at least one bone but its name field is empty,
a button with no name will be created in the rig UI.
- The fourth column defines in which UI row the layer button will be created.
This numbers define the layer ordering in the UI and will ignore the effective layer number.
If two layer have the same row number their UI buttons will be created in the same row.
- The fifth column is a toggle for the selection set.
If checked a selection set with that name will be created and associated to the final rig.
- The sixth column defines the Rigify Bone Grouping.
If Rigify Bone Groups are set, the user can make the association between
the bones on the layer and the specified bone group from the list.
The controls on the final rig will inherit the bone grouping through this value.
- The seventh column displays -- if set -- the associated bone group name.
In order to use the Bone Groups in the *Rigify Layer Names* fields,
*Rigify Bone Groups* must be set through the specific panel.
Usually this panel is displayed just above Rigify Layer Names panel.
Rigify Bone Groups are used to define bone colors on the final rig.
The top two rows of the Rigify Bone Groups panel are used to define the bone colors general behavior.
The top two rows of the Color Sets panel are used to define the general behavior of the bone colors.
Usually color themes use a gradient of colors to define the different bone states: default, selected and active.
When multiple color themes are used in the same rig, identifying which bone is selected or
active can be tricky since each color will have its corresponding state.
To override this behavior Rigify Bone Groups unifies the active and selected states with the same color.
To override this behavior Rigify unifies the active and selected states using the same color.
This is defined by two values:
Unified Selected/Active Colors

Bone Collections UI
===================
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_metarigs_bone-collections-panel.png
:align: right
:width: 300px
:doc:`Bone Collections </animation/armatures/bones/bone_collections>` are used to group related bones together
so that they can be hidden or revealed together.
Rigify can take advantage of collections to generate extra features and the user interface for the final rig.
A panel named :ref:`Rig Layers <rigify.rig_ui_template.RigLayers>` is generated with buttons for hiding the
collections, arranged in an intuitive layout.
The Bone Collections UI panel allows configuring the layout of that generated panel, as well as specifying some
other settings for bone collections, such as the color set to use.
The top of the panel is occupied by a list that duplicates the main bone collection list, but displays additional
properties, such as the color set, whether the collection has a button, or whether it generates a selection set.
Validate Collection References
Some sub-rig types have :ref:`references <bpy.types.RigifyParameters>` to bone collections in their properties.
Rigify uses a referencing scheme that is robust to collection renames, but deleting collections or joining armatures
can still lead to broken references.
This button runs a scan that validates and normalizes all collection references, reporting any errors, and
reducing the chance of breakage being caused by subsequent user actions.
This scan is also performed automatically every time the rig is generated.
.. warning::
To avoid breakage this operation should be used both immediately before and after joining two metarig armatures.
More specifically, it must be always done between the actions of renaming any collections and joining.
Color Set
Specifies the :ref:`color set <bpy.types.Armature.rigify_colors>` to use for bones in this collection. If a bone
belongs to multiple collections, in general the collection located earlier in the list has priority.
Add Selection Set
Specifies whether a selection set should be generated for this collection.
UI Row
If nonzero, specifies which row of the :ref:`Rig Layers <rigify.rig_ui_template.RigLayers>` panel should contain the
button controlling the visibility of this collection. When zero, no button is generated, and the collection is hidden.
UI Title
This field can be used to override the title used on the UI button to be distinct from the true collection name.
Unlike collection names, titles are not required to be unique, so this can be used to reduce clutter by relying
on contextual cues within the panel.
UI Layout sub-panel
-------------------
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_metarigs_bone-collections-layout-panel.png
:align: right
:width: 300px
The UI Layout sub-panel provides a WYSIWYG editor for the layout of the generated UI panel
(as defined by the UI Row and UI Title settings above).
Each row contains three buttons at the end:
Arrow
Moves the active collection button to this row.
Plus
Inserts a new row before the current one.
Minus
Removes the current row and shifts all buttons up.
To the left of the editing control buttons, rows display buttons corresponding to the collections, same as the final
UI, except that rather than hiding or unhiding, clicking these buttons selects the collection.
For the active collection the selection button is replaced with an input field for editing the UI Title, and an **X**
button to unassign the collection from the UI.
For any collections not assigned to the UI, their select buttons are displayed in a separate section at the bottom
of the sub-panel.
The ``Root`` collection will be added and/or assigned a UI button automatically if necessary when the rig is generated.
If desired, it is possible to manually assign UI buttons to the internal ``ORG``, ``DEF`` and ``MCH`` collections.
.. tip::
Blank rows appear much thinner in the final interface, since they don't have to contain editing buttons, and can be
used as logical separators.

Rig UI Panels
-------------
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_rig-ui-panels.png
:align: right
:width: 200px
The generated rig is accompanied by a script that implements a set of panels that appear in the Item
tab of the 3D view sidebar when a bone belonging to the generated rig is active.
Rig Bake Settings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This panel is displayed if the armature has an active :doc:`Action </animation/actions>`, and
is used by operators that apply an operation to multiple keyframes.
Bake All Keyed Frames
When enabled, the operator computes and keyframes its result on every frame that has a key for any of the
bones, as opposed to just relevant ones.
Limit Frame Range
When enabled, the operator is limited to a certain frame range.
Start, End
Specify the frame range to process.
Get Frame Range
Sets the baking frame range from the scene frame range.
Rig Main Properties
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This panel shows properties and operators that are relevant to the selected bones.
Rig Layers
^^^^^^^^^^
This panel contains buttons for toggling visibility of bone collections.
The layout and labels of the buttons are defined in the metarig
:ref:`Bone Collection UI <bpy.types.BoneCollection.rigify_ui_row>` panel.
Common Controls
---------------
Rigify rigs are built from standardized components called sub-rigs, which are linked together in a parent-child
hierarchy. Although the precise behavior of each sub-rig is determined by its implementation, there are certain
conventions that are followed by many of them.
Root Bone
^^^^^^^^^
Every Rigify rig has a bone called `root`, which serves as a parent for all bones of the rig.
It is assigned to a bone collection called `Root`. Unless the metarig has a custom bone
of that name, it is positioned at the origin of the rig object. Its widget looks like
a circle with four arrow shaped protrusions.
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_arm-controls.png
:align: right
:width: 200px
Limb Master
^^^^^^^^^^^
Many limb-like sub-rigs have a gear-shaped bone at their base.
This bone can in some cases be used to transform the whole sub-rig as a rigid unit, and is also used as a container
for its custom properties that are displayed in the *Rig Main Properties* panel. If you are looking in the Graph editor
for the animated values of the properties, this is most likely the bone to look at.
As an exception, if multiple controls of the sub-rig need their own copy of conceptually the same property,
it may be placed on those controls directly instead.
Tweak Controls
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These controls look like blue spheres in the default color scheme, and are the final control layer above the
deformation bones themselves.
Tweaks are subordinate to the general IK or FK limb position but can be moved apart, twisted and scaled freely,
even reaching virtually impossible limb shapes.
Rubber Tweak
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_rubber-tweak.png
:align: right
:width: 200px
Some sub-rigs provide a slider in their *Rig Main Properties* when tweaks are selected, which controls
the smoothness of the Bendy Bone joint at that position. When zero, the joint deforms with a sharp bend,
while setting it to 1 makes the transition smooth for a more rubber hose cartoon like appearance.
Custom Pivots
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some bones that can be freely moved in space (like IK controls) can be optionally accompanied by a custom pivot
control. These controls usually look like a plain axes empty with the axis lines capped with squares or crosses,
like the one in the image above. The control can be freely moved to change the location of the pivot, and then
rotated or scaled to transform the target bone around the pivot.
IK and FK Switching
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_ik-fk-switch.png
:align: right
:width: 200px
A number of rig types provides both IK and FK controls (red for IK and green for FK in the image above),
with an ability to switch and snap between them.
Switching is controlled by a slider in *Rig Main Properties*, usually blending between full IK at 0 and full FK at 1.
Snapping one type of controls to the shape of the other is done via buttons, which form a group of three
in their complete set:
* The main button will snap on the current frame, and auto-key the result if enabled.
* The *Action* button will bake the change on multiple keyframes, according to *Rig Bake Settings*.
* The *Clear* button will delete keyframes on the corresponding controls within the bake interval.
Parent Switching
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_parent-switch.png
:align: right
:width: 200px
Some freely movable controls, e.g. usually the IK controls, can have a mechanism to switch their parent bone
between a set of choices, including the root bone, or none at all.
This mechanism is exposed in the *Rig Main Properties* panel through a row with three controls:
* A button that presents a dropdown menu, which allows switching the parent on the current frame while
preserving the bone position and orientation in the world space.
* An input field that exposes the raw switch property for keyframing and direct manipulation. Values correspond to
positions in the dropdown list.
* A button to apply the position preserving parent switch over the bake range of keyframes.
.. note::
When manually placing a Child Of constraint on the control bone, the built-in parent should be switched to none.
Limbs
=====
Each limb will have a gear widget at its base. This is the utility bone that
contains all the sub-rig properties. The rig features will be displayed anyway
when the affected bone is selected but if you are looking in the Graph editor for
those properties' animated values, this is most likely the bone to look at.
Limbs have a master bone and tweaks. Depending on the user defined meta-rig options,
multiple deform bone segments with tweaks will be created.
Depending on the user defined meta-rig options, multiple deform bone segments will be created.
Each bone can be controlled by tweak controls placed at the respective bone's head/tail.
Tweaks are subordinate to the general IK or FK limb position but can be moved apart,
twisted and scaled freely, even reaching virtually impossible limb shapes.
The IK control may have an optional custom pivot, as well as additional predefined pivots.
Rigify's limbs have the following controls in the Sidebar panel:

the tail rather than the head of the hand bone.
There are no additional controls in the *Rig Main Properties* panel.
Legs
----
:ref:`Legs <rigify.rigs.limbs.leg>` have a more complicated setup, which has:

IK & FK Toe :guilabel:`Optional`
Two separate IK and FK controls for the toe (this is on by default and recommended for stable IK<->FK snapping).
IK Heel
A heel control which can be rotated to command forward or backward roll, sideways rock, or yaw of the heel.
Toe Pivot :guilabel:`Optional`
An extra pivot control rotating around the base of the toe.
Custom Pivot :guilabel:`Optional`
A custom pivot control.
The properties panel has two additional features:
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_foot-properties.png

IK->FK Snap With Roll :guilabel:`Buttons`
Standard IK to FK snapping resets the transformations of all IK controls other than the main one. This is
not convenient to use in an animation that involves the use of the heel control, because roll and rock would
be folded into the transformation of the main control.
This alternative snapping operator tries to deduce the rotation of the heel control so as to keep the main
IK control parallel to the ground plane inferred from the *current* orientation of the IK control. The operator
has options to specify which rotational axes to use for the heel control rotation.
Roll On Toe :guilabel:`Slider` :guilabel:`Optional`
If enabled in the sub-rig settings, this slider can be used to control whether the heel rotation (excluding
backward roll) is applied at the base or the tip of the toe.
Fingers & Tentacles
===================
Simple Tentacle
---------------
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_simple-controls.png
The simplest type of rig for a finger or appendage in general is the
:ref:`simple tentacle <rigify.rigs.limbs.simple_tentacle>` sub-rig. It has only basic FK controls and tweaks,
with the only automation being the ability to copy the local rotation of a FK joint to the next one.
Advanced Finger
---------------
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_finger-controls.png
For the case of fingers, there is a dedicated :ref:`finger <rigify.rigs.limbs.super_finger>` sub-rig type,
which provides:
Master
A master control, which can be used to rotate the finger as a whole, as well as to bend it via Y scaling.
FK Chain
FK control chain (green) that can operate as semi-tweaks through allowing translation.
IK Control :guilabel:`Optional`
IK control for the tip.
.. note::
IK in this sub-rig is rudimentary and operates as an adjustment for FK. The intended way of use is to pose
the finger in FK, and then use FK->IK snap and enable IK if it is necessary to pin the tip of the finger
in place.
The properties panel has the following features:
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_finger-properties.png

:width: 200px
Finger IK :guilabel:`Slider` :guilabel:`Optional`
Slider controlling the influence of the IK.
FK<->IK Snapping :guilabel:`Buttons` :guilabel:`Optional`
Snaps the IK control to the end of the finger, or adjusts the FK controls to the result of the IK correction.
Curvature :guilabel:`Slider`
Has the same effect as *Rubber Tweak* on limbs, controlling the rubber hose cartoon effect.
Spline Tentacle
---------------
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_spline-controls.png
Spline Tentacle (Stretch To Fit, Manual Squash & Stretch)
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_spline-controls-tip.png
Spline Tentacle (Direct Tip Control)
The :ref:`spline tentacle <rigify.rigs.limbs.spline_tentacle>` is an advanced rig for a flexible appendage (tentacle)
based on the :doc:`Spline IK </animation/constraints/tracking/spline_ik>` constraint. The IK control bones manage
control points of a Bezier spline curve, which in turn is followed by the IK chain.
The tentacle can be generated in three major modes:
Stretch To Fit
In this simplest mode all bones of the sub-rig deform chain follow the curve and squash & stretch to match
its length.
Manual Squash & Stretch
This mode is almost the same, but the chain does not automatically scale to match the curve length.
Instead, it tries to cover as much as possible of the curve given its manually scaled length.
If the curve is too short, the chain will overhang it and straighten out, but this is not fully stable.
Direct Tip Control
This mode is more similar to the behavior of IK limbs: the final bone of the chain is directly controlled by
the tip IK control, while the other bones of the chain stretch and follow the curve to bridge the gap.
The tentacle sub-rig has the following control bones:
Master
The tentacle has the same gear master control as other limbs (seen as a line in the images).
IK Start
The IK control at the base of the tentacle, which can be used to control the base twist and sideways scale, and
is one of the potential switchable parents for other IK controls.
In the *Manual Squash & Stretch* mode it controls uniform scale of the tentacle.
IK Start (Extra) :guilabel:`Optional`
Extra start controls, optional and hidden by default. Switchable parents default to the *IK Start* control.
The scale of the control may optionally affect the thickness of the chain via the radius of the curve point.
IK Middle
Controls for the middle of the curve. The switchable parents default to *Master*, but may be set to
*IK Start* or *IK End* controls.
The scale of the control may optionally affect the thickness of the chain via the radius of the curve point.
IK End (Extra) :guilabel:`Optional`
Extra end controls, optional and hidden by default. Switchable parents default to the *IK End* control.
The scale of the control may optionally affect the thickness of the chain via the radius of the curve point.
The *Direct Tip Control* mode adds one more extra end control next to the middle ones that cannot be hidden.
IK End
Controls the last control point of the curve, and is one of the potential parents for the other chain controls.
In the *Direct Tip Control* mode also directly controls the last bone of the chain.
IK End Twist :guilabel:`Optional`
* *Stretch To Fit*: controls the twist of the tip of the tentacle, interpolated to nothing at the base.
* *Manual Squash & Stretch*: also controls the scaling of the tip of the tentacle.
* *Direct Tip Control*: does not exist.
FK Chain :guilabel:`Optional`
If enabled, the rig has an alternative fully FK control chain.
The properties panel has the following features:
.. figure:: /images/addons_rigging_rigify_rig-features_spline-properties.png
:align: right
:width: 200px
Start/End Controls :guilabel:`Optional`
If extra controls exist, this property controls how many of them are visible and active.
When a control is disabled, it is snapped to a position extremely close to the corresponding end control point,
thus effectively neutralizing its effect. Thus, changing the setting during an animation can cause jumps.
The plus and minus buttons can help with maintaining a continuous transition in an animation by keyframing the
change in the property value with Constant interpolation, and also snapping and keyframing the control itself
to its 'hidden' position.
End Twist Estimate :guilabel:`Optional`
In the *Direct Tip Control* mode the twist at the end of the tentacle is deduced from the orientation of the
tip control. However, for technical reasons, that is only possible within the 180 degrees range of neutral.
A long tentacle can accept more twist than 180 degrees, so a workaround is necessary. This property allows
specifying an approximate estimate of the twist value, and the rig then applies the automatic correction within
180 degrees of this value.
IK-FK, IK<->FK Snapping :guilabel:`Optional`
If the FK controls are enabled, these provide standard IK-FK switching and snapping.
However, unlike other limbs, for this rig automatic IK to FK snapping can only be approximate and requires
manual tuning. For this reason, buttons for baking the snapping over a range of keyframes are not provided.
Parent Switch
Switches the parent of the active IK control.

limbs.spline_tentacle
=====================
This rig type implements a flexible tentacle with an IK system using the Spline IK constraint. The control bones
define control points of a Bezier curve, and the bone chain follows the curve.
The curve control points are sorted into three groups: start, middle and end. The middle controls are always
visible and active, while the other two types can be shown and hidden dynamically using properties; when enabled
they appear next to the corresponding permanent start/end control and can be moved from there.
Extra Start Controls
Specifies the number of optional start controls to generate.
Middle Controls
Specifies the number of middle controls to generate.
Extra End Controls
Specifies the number of optional end controls to generate.
Tip Control:
Specifies how the curve stretching and the final control bone work:
Stretch To Fit
Stretches the whole bone chain to fit the length of the curve defined by the controls.
An end twist control is generated to control the twist along the chain.
Direct Tip Control
Generates an IK end control, which directly controls the final bone of the chain similar to how
regular IK works for limbs, as well as controlling the end of the bezier curve. The middle bones of
the chain stretch to follow the curve and cover the gap.
The rig automatically deduces twist of up to 180 degrees based on the orientation of the end control.
Higher amounts of twist have to be dialled in through an End Twist Estimate slider to avoid flipping.
Manual Squash & Stretch
This mode allows full manual control over the chain scaling, while the chain covers as much of the curve
as it can given its current length.
The start control of the chain manages its uniform squash & stretch scale, while the end twist control
manages both the twist of the chain, as well as its scale at the tip (blended gradually along the length).
Radius Scaling
Allows scaling the controls to control the thickness of the chain through the curve.
Maximum Radius
Specifies the maximum scale allowed by the Radius Scaling feature.
FK Controls
Generates an FK control chain and IK-FK snapping.
Assign FK Layers
If enabled, allows placing the FK chain in different bone collections from the IK bones.

.. _bone-collections:
****************
Bone Collections
****************
:term:`Bone Collections <Bone Collection>` group the bones of an
:term:`Armature` into named collections. The armature is the owner of these
collections, so they are available in all modes. Bone Collections are identified
by their name, which are unique within the Armature.
In the text below, "collection" is understood to refer to "bone collection";
:term:`Scene Collections <Collection>` are not described here.
Bone Collections can be managed via :ref:`the Armature and Bone property panels <bpy.types.BoneCollection>`.
Visibility
==========
Bone Collections can be shown & hidden via the list in the Armature properties,
as well as via the list in the Bone properties. Bone visibility is determined by
the visibility of its collections, and its own 'hidden' property:
- If the bone itself is marked as 'hidden', it is invisible regardless of the
bone collections.
- A bone is visible when it is contained in any visible collection.
- A bone that is not assigned to any bone collection is visible; otherwise it
would be impossible to select it & assign it to a collection.
.. _bone_collections_library_overrides:
Library Overrides
=================
Bone collections can be added using library overrides. For this to work, both
the armature Object and the Armature itself need to be overridden.
Limitations
-----------
There are a few limitations when it comes to bone collections & overrides:
- Only bone collections that are local to the current blend file can be edited.
- Bone collections that already existed on the linked-in Armature are read-only,
and only their visibility can be toggled. Those visibility changes won't be
saved, though.
- Custom properties of overridden bone collections cannot be edited in the
properties panel. Python access is fine; this is just a current limitation of
Blender's UI code.
How It Works
------------
Bone collections added via overrides are 'anchored' to the preceeding
collection, by name. Here is an example. The *italic* collections are defined on
the linked Armature in `armature.blend`. The **bold** ones are added by
overrides in `armature_shot_47.blend`.
- *FK Controls*
- *IK Controls*
- **Left Pinky** (anchored to "IK Controls")
- **Right Pinky** (anchored to "Left Pinky")
Now if the Armature in `armature.blend` gets updated with two more collections
it might look like this:
- *FK Controls*
- *IK Controls*
- *Face Controls*
- *Face Detail Controls*
After reloading `armature_shot_47.blend`, it will look like this:
- *FK Controls*
- *IK Controls*
- **Left Pinky** (still anchored to "IK Controls")
- **Right Pinky** (still anchored to "Left Pinky")
- *Face Controls*
- *Face Detail Controls*
.. _bpy.types.armature.layers:
Some history
============
Bone Collections were introduced in Blender 4.0, as a replacement for armature
layers and bone groups. Bone Collections are owned by the Armature, so they are
available in all modes. To contrast, bone groups were stored on the object's
pose, and thus were not available in armature edit mode.

panel <bpy.types.BoneCollection>`.
Obviously, you have to be in *Edit Mode* or *Pose Mode* to move bones between layers.
Note that as with objects, bones can lay in several layers at once,
just use the usual :kbd:`Shift-LMB` clicks...
First of all, you have to select the chosen bone(s)!
- In the Properties, use the "layer buttons" of each selected bone Relations panel (*Bones* tab)
to control in which layer(s) it lays.
- In the *3D Viewport*, use the menu :menuselection:`Armature --> Move Bone To Layer` or
:menuselection:`Pose --> Move Bone To Layer` or press :kbd:`M` to show the usual pop-up layers menu.
Note that this way, you assign the same layers to all selected bones.

Armature Layers
Each armature has 32 layers to organize armatures by "regrouping" them into sets of bones.
Only bones in active layers will be visible/editable, but they will always be effective
(i.e. move objects or deform geometry), whether in an active layer or not.
This property changes which layers are visible in the 3D Viewport.
To show several layers at once, :kbd:`Shift-LMB` on the desired layers to view.
To move bones to a given layer, use :ref:`bpy.ops.armature.bone_layers`.

@ -8,12 +8,7 @@ Shrinkwrap Constraint
The *Shrinkwrap* constraint is the "object counterpart" of
the :doc:`Shrinkwrap Modifier </modeling/modifiers/deform/shrinkwrap>`.
It moves the owner origin and therefore the owner object's location to the surface of its target.
This implies that the target *must* have a surface. In fact,
the constraint is even more selective, as it can only use meshes as targets. Hence,
the *Shrinkwrap* option is only shown in the *Add Constraint to Active Object* menu,
:kbd:`Ctrl-Alt-C`, (or its bone's equivalent),
when the selected inactive object is a mesh.
This implies that the target *must* have a surface; thus, you can only use meshes as targets.

They also split out or re-combine the different color channels that make up an image,
allowing you to work on each channel independently.
Various color channel arrangements are supported, including traditional RGB, HSV
