Extra bones?????

[awakeningfromobliv]

I noticed while watching the "Training Skeletal Mesh Import/Export" tutorial at 3:10 in, that the Rig has extra bones going from the Left wrist to the right wrist and then diagonally down to the root? or the origin? bone, and the feet also have extra bones. are they necessary for importing or animating, and yes I'm new to rigging.

Thanks.

Those bones are for advanced users. They're IK bones used for in-game skeletal controllers, it isn't something you usually need unless you're really picky with how things procedurally animates in game.

LOL they are there for animating. & yes play with them all you like.
Never let anyone tell you, it isn't something you should play with ;)

Nothing ventured nothing gained, my friend =D

"advanced users" laughing so hard I almost pissed myself
