Hi all
I'm trying my hands on this rig

http://www.3dluvr.com/clisk3d/freerigg/Max_v03.rar

I'm having all sorts of problems animating arms..mostly gimbal and blending IK FK.
I come from character studio background where no such problem ever occurred.
I'm having a major problem in controlling arms.The swivel just dances around between the keys..Just looking for an efficient way of doing it..as i've seen some nice animations done on this rig..

Thanks a bunch

Cheers

Guys, i'll appreciate if anyone can help here..i tried it on other rig and got the same results..i've attached the file..most likely i'm missing something and would appreciate if someone could post a refined method of controlling the elbow!

It looks like you leave your swivel control behind at times in the animation. When the character moves away from it, it will still be affected by the control as if you moved it on it's own because it's relative position is different. Keep the controls close to the character. If the character moves forward, so should the controls.
AFAIK, this is how this particular rig works and you'll have to deal with it unless you intend to modify it to suit your particular needs.
