Below we use two Transform Modify Bone controllers to affect the Spine and Neck of our character.

We can use variables to drive the changes in Translation, Rotation or Scale on the Transform Modify Bone to affect our character. In the video above, the Rotation Value variable drives the rotation of the MF_Spine_01 and b_MF_Neck Bones in our character. The scale of our character is also driven by a float variable ( Scale Multiplier ) which affects the spine of our character, increase/decreases the size of the bone and scaling our character.
