+If you want to bring your 3D model to life, you can use bones and animate them to make the 3D model move. Each bone has a limited amount of influence on the 3D model and it pivots on one end, just like most of our bones do.

+This method of 'rigging' (creating a skeleton to animate your object) is super fast and easy. It has it's limitations, but it's good for simple animation. It's based on a great and funny [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icqLFiwpNlM&list=PL4Dq5VyfewIxxjzS34k2NES_PuDUIjRcY&index=3|tutorial]] by Ian Hubert.

+  - Import your model
+  - Add an armature object ''add > armature''. This adds the armature object and a single bone
+  - With the armature selected, in the ''Object data properties'' window, under ''Viewport display'', enable ''In Front''. It's easier when you can see where your armature is.

+  - Scale, reposition the bone as necessary. Extrude in edit mode to create a chain of bones.
+  - When adding separate bones (''shift + a'') parent them to the other bones . Choose ''with offset'' when you want empty space between them, or choose ''connect'' when you want them to mesh together.
+  - create a skeleton that fits the 3D object in it's current pose.
+  - Parent the object to the armature. Choose the option ''with automatic weights''.
+  - switch to pose mode. Now you can animate your 3D model.
