- 00-HWYMN-Lthr-Zero and HWYMN-RED-Zero - Are the basic Rigged but non animated set up scene
-----------------------
It is built with Blender's Rigify.
- First go to the N Panel (press N on the keyboard)
- Select the ITEM tab
- Be sure that the RIG LAYERS section is showing your rig controllers (in Blue)
- To move the hands select the shape over the hand and drag or rotate - dragging toward the body will cause the arm to bend at the elbow.
- In the same way grab the similar shape at the foot to move the foot and bend the knee.
- To move fingers - select one of the stright lines comming off of the fingers and hit “S” for “Scale” it will rotate the 3 finger joints at once - you can also select ant knuckle and rotate a single finger joint.
- The large circle with arrows at the base of the model moves the entire object
- Grab the Gear shape (or arrows) at the shoulder torotate the elbow
- The arrows at the thighs rotate the knee
-THe big box at the waist will lift the model or make it bend at the knees and twist at the waist
- The 3 purple discs in the torso can twist the torso
- The bent disc at the shoulder will rotate the shoulders and upper body
- small arrows and disc at the heel will raise just the heel off of the ground
- The disc at the toes will raise the toe
- The disc at the neck will rotate the neck area
- The disc above the head will rotate the head
- The coat has it's own set of controlling discs.
That should get you started.

Use Eye morphs to control eye
There are 49 Morph targets:
0-FV, 0-LT, 0-MBP, 0-O, 0-U, 0-WQCheeksPuffed, Eyebrow-Arch-LT, Eyebrow-Arch-RT, Eyebrow-DN-LT, Eyebrow-DN-RT, Eyebrows-DN-Both, Eyebrows-IN-Both, Eyes-Open-Wide, Eyes-Open, Eyes-DN, Eyes-LT, Eyes-RT, Eyes-Up, Jaw-Back, Jaw-DN, Jaw-Forward, Jaw-LT, Jaw-RotateZ-LT, Mouth-RotateZ-RT, Jaw-RT, Lip-Lower-In, Mask-Extend-Left, Mask-Extend-Right, MidMouth-LT, MidMouth-RT, Mouth-DN, Mouth-Frown, Mouth-Open, Mouth-Pucker, Mouth-Whistle, Nose-Scrunch, Smile, Snarl-LT, Snarl-RT, Squint, UpperLip-IN, UpperLip-OUT, z-Cape-With-Sword, z-Pistol-Tucked
But if you have positioned the model by moving the bones, AND you try to use some morph targets, you may have some pretty weird distortions that will freak you out.
Don't panic, the solution is to 'zero' out your bone positions, as or just before you apply the 'Morph' targets.
------------------------
The Tricorn hat and two pistols and the Sword are optional (their visibility can be turned on or off as desired).
------------------------
THE MASK VISABILITY: the mask can be turned on or off, by
1) Selecting the Mask
2) Selecting the MODIFIERS Tab (Wrench image)
3) Find the Modifier that is called GEOMETRY NODES
4) Open it and find MASK VISABILITY
5) below that is a number (.950)
6) slide this to ZERO (0)
7) the mask will not diassappear in the SOLID view, but will be gone in the MATERIAL or RENDERED Display views.
