Add Winders

A winder is another way to control a long chain. Since only one side of a winder is fixed, it is best suited to control objects like a whipping tail or male genitals, where the location of the other end-point is not so important. Winders appear in the MHX rig to control fingers and also the spine.

Select the first bone in the chain and press Add Winder. Note that all bones in the chain must have the same orientation, otherwise the result is unpredictable.

And now we can pose the entire chain smoothly by only rotating the winder bone.
