[ARCHIVE HELP] Unity Humanoid Avatar > Bone Name/Structure List!

After this kind of information is missing in the official documentation (shame on you Unity!) and the fact that I am not sure for how long this information will stay online, I thought I carve this information into one forum thread, so others can find it by googling it.

The source is from virtualcast.jp and describes the bone naming structure of Unity's avatar system, which is needed if you want to import skinned meshes for IK auto detection in umotion for example. Maybe it is in the documentation, idk. At least I didn't found it. However, a shame that a japanese site has to tell me that.
