Laying out a bones hierarchy
In this section we’ll create a hierarchy for a HyperNURBS leg. Once the leg is in the viewport, the next
step is to create three bones, one each for the thigh, lower leg and foot. We’ll start with the bone for
the thigh, since this needs to be the parent of the bones hierarchy (the bones hierarchy will be created
automatically, so it is important to start with the parent bone).
