Please Help with Rig

Because the hip controller is a handle in the spline IK it needs to keep its rotation.

Put another controller in the same position as the hip controller, then make the hip controller a child of that controller. Then move your expresso to that new controller and add a userdata to it.

Rig is looking good so far. :)

Well, what I did was take out the FK Spine Controller, made the Body Comtroller 90º on P (which made the Chest and Hip Controllers zeroed out, and it seems to work.

Then maybe you can redo the FK Spine Controller. That seemed to be messing up things aas you rotated the Body Controller earlier, too.

Cool, those worked, that's great!

Thank you! I shall can carry on now and rapidly approaching the daunting stage of figuring out animation!

If anyone else downloads the file and sees anything wrong or things that could be improved, please let me know.

Howdy,

Also for your Home button Xpresso you can set the second input on the Condition node for the Rotation to 0,1.57,0. Since Xpresso works with radians instead of degrees, 1.57 radians = 90 degrees. ;)

Adios,
Cactus Dan

Cool, great tip there, never knew that! So many different ways of doing the same thing!

Thanks Dan, oh and by the way ive seen your tools in action and they look like they make life alot easier and quicker to set up! So maybe one day I will invest in your pro toolset! It depends on the individual, but I think in my case learning the long way round first, I then learn a bit more, gain more of an in depth understanding....then look for the easiest and quickest route!

theres also a degrees to radians and radians to degrees converter node if your more comfortable working with degrees.
