# ◻️Pivot Modifier

> Documentation for ◻️Pivot Modifier.

## Overview

**Pivot Modifier** applies spine rotation and pelvis translation when starting or stopping moving. It also adds leaning rotation towards the velocity.

#### Bone References

> These properties define what bones will be affected by this modifier.

* **Pelvis** — pelvis or hip bone.

* **Spine Bones** — bone chain that will be affected by the leaning rotation.

#### Animation

> These properties define the leaning motion.

* **Rotation Curve** — animation for spine bones.

* **Translation Curve** — animation for pelvis.

* Rotation and Position Smoothing — control the interpolation speed for rotation/translation.

* Playback Speed — animation speed multiplier.

#### Leaning

> These properties control the leaning rotation.

* **Max Lean Angle** — max rotation angle in degrees.

* **Lean Intensity** — controls how strong the leaning rotation will be.

## Use-cases

This modifier can be used to add dynamic leaning rotation effects when moving around. The default settings are already adjusted to work with any character, except for spine bones:
