I see alot of skeletons that people created with handles on them so you can manipulate your joints easier (Like arrows and nurb circles etc.) Is there a good tutorial that can show me how to make handles for my joints? Or is it something really simple… I’ve been trying to find tutorials on how to do it but all I can find are ones that show you how to create basic joints not the handles.

Thanks!

The handles themselves are usually just made from NURBS circles. You can make them on the grid and then edit some of the CVs to get a different shaping (like making them look like two-headed arrows). Then you move them into place and constrain joints or handles to them.
