Reverse foot with fkik

[animationrigs]

That's a tough one to type, if you want, go to animationrigs.com and signup for a free demo. Then watch the "grip and footroll" tutorial under "Rigging Fundamentals" That should walk you through a version of what you need step by step.

well I have my IK FK switch setup with the IK handles naming conventions different from the reverse foot IK.. n I used the joint based reverse foot cause the group based one refused to work with the ik fk switch.. Though this solved part of the trouble.. I still have a problem of the IK FK switch now.. which is that. only the ankle and below responds to the switch... and the reverse foot is now working in the setup.. I need to figure out why the switch is not workin on the whole leg... but as of now.. I only have this update... in case U have any feedback.. do let me know.. thanks...

futurcraft,
What does your joint hierarchy look like? IN other words do you have an FK skeleton and an IK skeleton?

[futurcraft]

well yeah.. I have an Fk and an IK skeleton both seperate.. and another one blending between the two of them.. now the IK handles for these were renamed... to prevent conflict.. & I used the joint based reverse foot setup over the blend skeleton.. but somehow the IK FK blend seems to work only for the foot downwards and the reverse foot also works only for the foot downwards... its like some kinda constraint on the ankle joint.. any ideas...?

[animationrigs]

It's definitely tough to understand, but it almost sounds like the blends arent' hooked up for your constraints for the rest of your leg?

Do you have constraints for the rest of the leg that are connected to your ik/fk enable toggle?

I was told tht I can use node states n use tht to toggle the ikfk handles.. but the thin is the ankle in my skeleton is constarined to both the reverse foot and the ik fk blend skeleton.. n I'm not sure how to toggle tht.. its like the ankle is gettin values from both setups... individually.. my reverse foot works perfect.. so does my ik fk blend.. but together in the same script... this is what happens... any solutions..?? would really appreciate ur help...
