Thisdetermines the bank rotation angle of the bone when converted inLayout. To adjust the bank rotation axis in Vertex Paint, activatethe Bank Rotation Axis Edit option. (Note: Vertex Paint will resetall skelegons to their rest position before allowing you to edit thebank rotation.)If you enter a new name when creating a morph target, geometrywith bone deformation (from rotation, move, and scale) in the 3Dview is created.
