I have a 3 legged character and I want to copy the pose of one leg to another. Shift Ctrl V doesn't work tho because that only works when I want to mirror along the x-axis but my character has 3 legs so that isn't possible. Is there anyway I can do that?

For example I have this pose

enter image description here

And when I copy then Shift Ctrl V it simply moves the same bone in a different spot. Instead of having the same pose on the other leg. enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ Could we also see the bone hierarchy. If leg is parented such that locally each transform is same can simply copy prop or use copy constraints to match pose. $\endgroup$

I don't know if there's another way to do it than this one:

  • First make sure that the axis of your second bone is good:

enter image description here

  • Create the animation for your first bone. Select the keyframes in the Dopesheet and copy, make sure to have the Only Selected (little arrow icon) option enabled:

enter image description here enter image description here

  • Select the second bone, in the Dopesheet create a keyframe on its rest position (this step seems necessary):

enter image description here

  • Now paste in the DopeSheet, it creates new keyframe(s), the second bone has now the same animation as the first one:
