hi

I rigged a character's foot...

and if I rotate the foot it twists as if I didn't set the foot IK 'ik goal'.

it's very strange that if I rotate the whole model,
the feet twist also.

I guess this could be some zero rotation thing...but I really don't
know what to do.

anyone knows?

when you have the foot rigged properly and you select all the bones on the foot and rotate them, they will twist weirdlike. you are only supposed to select the heel bone, that bone controls the other 2. it would be a lot easier if you just rigged the bones to have dummys. unless you dont wanna us the IK solver apply some dummys to the bones. select just the heel bone when rotating.

hey neversong

they used to be a english version of the tuts aswell, but it seems to have disappeared. you can use a altavista to translate the page to english.

hey guys. thnx for the help.

CoolmoeDee, I had no problem with french in that link though. ;)
I didn't need french to check its contents.

I could kinda figure out how to solve this problem after taking a
look at those pics from that site.

what I just did is to add a point helper, and make it the node for the foot ik chain. and then link that helper to the foot's main controller.

and it works fine! :applause:

Thnx coolmoedee again. I learned good stuff.

have a nice day.
