Hi guys,

For the longset time I have been trying to work this out, but no luck :(

So this is it, I need to know how to control the whole character with one handle, I guess that what it called. You know the pelvis area (root joint), ike the upper and lower body is connected. Right now I can only control the IK handles for the arms and legs, but not the root?

I hope you guys know what I'm talking about :rolleyes:

So if anyone here can help me out, please please do so!

Thank for your time.

You could create something simple, like a locator or a nurbs circle, and parent the root joint and the IK handles to it.
Is that what you meant?

Hey thanks man,

But one proplem, the root joint don't even move by itself, but instead the whole body move as one stiff object. So what I went is when I move the root joint, the IK handle of the hands and feets stay put, so you can animate a walk cycle.

I hope that was clearer for you guys:rolleyes:

Thanks again.

It sounds like the IK handles are parented to the root joint. Once you unparent them, they should stay put
