hi, I have a little ik problem : :banghead:

1_first is it adviced to use ik fo spine control ?
2_if yes, then how do I do to be able to work on the spine without changing anything to the child(ren) bones : arms, neck&head ?
3_also why does't it change anything when I use the weight slider in IK handle attributes ?

Thanks

Hi,

NO.
It's not intuitive to use IK in the spine aera, just FK, cause all you need the spine to do is rotate.......right?

However you can automate the rotation of multiple joints together at the same time via SDK.
This way you'll have a more natural spine rotation.

GOOD LUCK:thumbsup:
