Single Joint Chain Ik Fk Arm Solution

[chriscurra]

I am having an ik fk switching problem that I cant figure out
how to solve.

When my characters arm is in fk I want the ik

[drblacksnake]

in simple words, I guess this would cause a cycle, thus won't work. A solution could be making a melButton that would read current position od FK-wrist and move IK-wrist control to this position. While You act in FK mode You shouldnt care about IK rig untill You do blending between FK and IK.. same true for opposite.

You want ik handle to "follow" what exactly?

[chriscurra]

Actually we fixed this problem with a script just like you are talking about but I wanted the functionality to work with everything contianed in the rig itself that way if later we wanted to come back and edit animation we wouldn't need to locate that script.

the character will be primarily in fk.

so i want the ik to just follow the arm around until i need to use it and then when i do the

switch it's already in the same place / no blending needed.

this is what I thougt would be the best but if there is another solution that people use

for a single bone chain ik / fk solution let me know,

Chris
