where can i find some doc on the different symbols like what we see on this character einstein

and yes i would prefer if possible some PDF tut or HTML oages than video

i mean how and where do you get different color for the bones
also there are those strange objects around which may be part of the rigging

but i 'v never seen any thing like this in wiki page for rigging
but may be this is something relatively new an unodcumented

Thanks

The strange objects are bones drawn as objects. You can specify that when you select the bone in Pose mode, go to editing buttons and in the bone’s buttons there is a OB field, that’s it.
The colors have something to do with bone groupps, I recall reading it in the release notes on 2.46 i think. But I’ve never managed to get it to work…

i never use this feature before but it looks interesting

i check the edit panel but cannot locate this object option

don’t know can you look at the pic inlcuded may be you can point out where it is!

i already search the wiki but could not find anything on this!

now have you seen some small tut on how to use this
cause when i look at this Einstein character it looks nice and would like to know how to do this type of rigging layout

and if anybody can pin point how to change the color of bones that would be nice to know how to

Thanks
