To enter Pose Mode in Blender, select the armature object and then choose "Pose Mode" from the Mode menu. This option will only appear if an armature is the active object.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Select the Armature: In Blender's Object Mode, click on the armature you want to pose. The armature is the object that controls the movement of your character or object.
-
Change to Pose Mode: With the armature selected, look at the top left of the Blender window. You'll see a dropdown menu that likely says "Object Mode." Click on this menu.
-
Choose "Pose Mode": From the dropdown menu, select "Pose Mode."
Once you are in Pose Mode, you can select individual bones within the armature and manipulate them to create different poses.
In summary:
- Ensure the armature is selected in Object Mode.
- Switch from Object Mode to Pose Mode using the Mode selection dropdown.
Now you can pose your character or object by rotating, translating, and scaling the individual bones.
