Go to: Free Stuff => IK/FK Switching

The way that tutorial is written, you will get a smooth transition from IK to FK and vice-versa.

i tried that also...but the problem was
when i move my ik in the ik mode..obviously the real bones follows with ik...but fk joints remains in its place...and once i shift to fk the real joint jumps from ik joints position to the fks....thus getting a rough transition....(in this tutorial we are controling only the real joint with fk and ik joint...there is no idea here of controlling the fk's and ik's which interm controls the real joint)

for a quick fix search out jsIKFKSnap.mel :)

i hope the script will be very useful..
thank you guys for sharing your knowledge.

You have three joint setups, one using IK, one using FK, and a skin joint setup constrained to both the IK and FK setup. You basically have to create a float attribute which controls the constraint weights of the skin joint chain via set driven key (it has to be a float so you have an inbetween, instead of a zero and one boolean attribute). So you have a single float attribute controlling wether an arm chain is constrained either to the FK or IK chain.

There is a video walk through on how to setup and FK/IK three bone switch in our library. If you havne't found a tutorial already it may help you out. You can watch it for free if you sign-up for a demo subscription. www.animationrigs.com

I do hope you are using the 3 bone method??
