[HELP] how do I add an avatar bone structure to a 3D character

Unity 5.3

I've got my character, and all scripts containing controllers etc, I just need to know how to add an avatar to start adding bone structure and animations.

Thanks
Matt

 

That's something you do in your 3D modeling package, not within Unity itself.

(Though I've occasionally wanted to just add or tweak the bone structure in Unity too... I've toyed with the idea of making just such an editor extension for the Asset Store, but I don't know if there would be enough demand for it. Most teams are quite happy with their 3D modeling tools for this.)

 

Awesome thank you, I use blender, you wouldn't know how it works in that would you?

 

Nope, sorry, Blender hurts my brain. But I believe there are a lot of tutorials for it on the intertubes.

 

You can create and add bones procedurally. Its a non-trivial job, but it might make sense for some workflows.

Thankyou for the advice and help, I'm very grateful
