Howdy,

CD IK Tools 1.3 update is now available from my web site:
http://www.cactus3d.com/Plugins.html

This update includes the new QuadLeg IK tag, which is a 3 bone IK solution for rigging quadrupeds, IK/FK Blending and the ability for all of the IK expression tags to be used on Non-Bone objects.

This is a free update for registered users.

Adios,
Cactus Dan

So as a registered user will the downloaded demo work or do I wait till you send out a new file?

Forget it I found out.

Howdy,

Thanks for the comments.

BTW, the Setup Tool will now set up the non-bone objects, too. ;)

Thanks, Dan. I'm finally getting around to a project that needs your tools for realistic human posing.

Can you give me an example how to do this. When I try it with 4 cubes, the cubes will scatter thru my viewport.

you might want to have a look at the object axes, you may find they should be aligned along z like bones, have a look at the attached file

Howdy,

Yes, flyingP is correct. The Z axis must be pointing toward the next object in the chain just like the bones would be. It is common in Cinema 4D for the Z axis to be the targeting axis, so in a hierarchal chain, the parent objects point their Z axis to the child objects.

Adios,
Cactus Dan
