During this video (and Inverse Kinematics) the instructor referenced a character rig that DOES NOT match the version available for download in the provided link. There are two discrepancies with the downloadable "Sky" files- first, the collection structure shown in the tutorial is VERY different than what is in the files. Second, the type of mesh "Sky" is composed of in the video does NOT match what is in the downloadable file(s). I would appreciate a careful review of the support files, and a response, as I am not the only person to encounter this issue.

How did you import the mesh of sky by itself? I noticed geo body and geo eyes in your object list but only find geo eyes in the blender file appendage.

At about 2:15 you grab the bone tail and move it up along Z axis. How did you just click G without pressing Z or middle mouse button to lock the translation to Z axis?

@Boqian Jiang Ok, I think your key input software just ignore X Y Z input...

@Sergio Rojas I am not sure if I am clicking on the wrong link but I am not getting the same model as in the video
