note: when i create a chain between thig and foot using the ik Handle tool (IkRPsolver) something strange happend..

Who fix this?

thanks Galactor...

anyway here is a way that i find to fix the leg behaviour..

but i dunno if this the right way! (?) :hmm:

select the circle and constrain->Pole Vector to the ik handle...

[galactor]

I should place the circle more in front and a bit higher. And the parent him ro the knee joint. This way it travels allong with the skeleton, and it will never be lost.

Dear dear dear dear Galactor...

I really appreciate your work!! but that's not good...
Now i'm gonna study your model and pheraps many question can come from this... hope to understand "how to"...
Have you get some tutorial to do this??
I wish to know why your model is so pretty simple and so powerfull!!!!!

... is normal that the foot behaved in this way?
when i translateZ my handle and keep going over the Left_Vector_Leg the foot go back rotating apart?

i want to take a deep breath and a cup of coffee...

[galactor]

I just try to complete all the tutorials that were about building skeletons and i watched some video's from 3dBuzz that came allong with the 3dWorld magazine. And after that i found a way that gave me the best results without a lot of effort.

And i'm doing 3d for four years now, that will give some experience to i would say.
