How to change rest pose in blender?

[Antumbra]

I need help changing the rest pose in blender? I changed the pose to the pose I wanted and then went to Pose>apply>set rest pose but when I change the rest pose my character that was rigged with skeleton goes back to the t-pose? how can I make my character rest the same way as my skeleton? please help!

before you apply pose as new restpose:

 

1. select the mesh object
2. go to the modifier stack.
3. Apply the Armature modifier

Now your mesh is a static mesh that uses the new restpose

 

1. Select the armature
2. Apply the pose as new restpose
3. Bind the mesh again to the armature

Now your mesh is rigged to the new rest pose.
