# Anatomy Anim Match Pose

This node defines an automated way to match pose between the character skeleton and input animation.  It is designed to offer accurate pose matching in an automated way.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You must have a mapping attribute for every bone that will be matched!
{% endhint %}

This node is not an alternative to Houdini’s rig match pose node, it matches the angles between the matched skeletons.

This node is a work in progress and may not work correctly in every situation.
