The Physique modifier makes the biped act as a skeleton under a mesh “skin”.
Physique assigns each vertex in the mesh to one or more bones in the biped.
When the biped bones are animated, appropriate vertices in the mesh will
move along with each biped part.
The process of applying and adjusting Physique is called skinning.
