using IK on just hands and legs

Retired Products Animate General Discussion

For a character I typically don’t attach arms and legs to torso but I attach all elements to a peg.

Eg
Peg
->RightArmChain (upperarm->lowerarm->Hand)
->LeftArmChain
->TorsoChain
etc


Now when I use IK it seems to try to put the bonus on everything. When I just want to put bones on the arms and legs.

How can i do this?

Also is there a way to move and adjust the bones if you don’t like the position of them?

When you use pegs for all your drawing elements, what you’ll need to do is select your drawing layers and exclude them from IK. If you do this, then the IK will use the parent peg instead of the drawing layer.
