What if you have more than 2 bones for the legs?

I have 5 bones in my legs, like this:


So should my yellow thing bone be at the bottom like Grant or should it be right under the knee? Both works

Why do you have so many bones? I would suggest keeping a human amount of bones unless you’re making some sort of tentacle movement. The yellow bones should be where you want the inverse kinematic to start. So yes, probably at the bottom by the control bone the same as Grant.

Ok, I thought more bones would mean better movement, and I would say that it was. But you are right, after some more testing it seems like I dont need that many bones.

You do not want more bones. The point of them is they only bend at the right places, extras serve no purpose unless making some non real humanoid ‘creature’.
Certainty as a beginner or first rig I would stick to what the course does.
