Anyone out there know a good set up a set up where the FK will follow the IK chance if the fk is switched off. So that if my animator wants to switch to FK mid animation that it will not pop everything back to bind pose?

Right now I have basic parent constraining going on for IK/FK switch.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

generally--for tradtional fkik -this is handled with an ikfk update script that can update fk to the ik rigpose and vis a versa. if ou don't know mell this is about the simplest script you can write so its not a bad place to start. you can have the animators use it as a shelf button--or you can auto update a script job--not a good idea.

maya's ikfk will provide some of this fuctionality automatically--but it can be a little fussy--
check the docs if you want to go this route--
