Skeleton3D
==========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node3D<class_Node3D>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A node containing a bone hierarchy, used to create a 3D skeletal animation.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

**Skeleton3D** provides an interface for managing a hierarchy of bones, including pose, rest and animation (see :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>`). It can also use ragdoll physics.

The overall transform of a bone with respect to the skeleton is determined by bone pose. Bone rest defines the initial transform of the bone pose.

Note that "global pose" below refers to the overall transform of the bone with respect to skeleton, so it is not the actual global/world transform of the bone.

To setup different types of inverse kinematics, consider using :ref:`SkeletonIK3D<class_SkeletonIK3D>`, or add a custom IK implementation in :ref:`Node._process<class_Node_method__process>` as a child node.

Sets the global pose transform, ``pose``, for the bone at ``bone_idx``.

\ ``amount`` is the interpolation strength that will be used when applying the pose, and ``persistent`` determines if the applied pose will remain.

\ **Note:** The pose transform needs to be a global pose! To convert a world transform from a :ref:`Node3D<class_Node3D>` to a global bone pose, multiply the :ref:`Transform3D.affine_inverse<class_Transform3D_method_affine_inverse>` of the node's :ref:`Node3D.global_transform<class_Node3D_property_global_transform>` by the desired world transform.
