HumanIK A-Pose vs T-Pose?

Greg DAlessandro

I will be using HumanIK to create the controls (I'll add set driven keys later), But my question is:
Is this default A-Pose okay to animate with HumanIk?


Or do I have to use a T-Pose like this for animating with HumanIK controls?


I don't know if it will cause problems by not having a T-pose. I also won't be using mocap.

Thank you.

Characterization requires T-pose.

Human IK requires a T-Pose, it would also make standard rigging a bit easier. However, you should use the A-pose for skinning the character.
