FK/IK or IK Only control rig

#1

I am a maya user and pretty new to MB. We are mainly working with motion capture data and i was wondering what control rig you guys suggest for plotting the mocap data.

i understand when to use ik and when to use fk in maya, but MB seems to handle ik very differently and i am a little confused as to the benefits of using either in mb. I haven’t really found any way to effectively use the FK controllers in MB. I would prefer to use FK seeing as most of my characters are not interacting with anything.

so what would you suggest? what do you use?

thanks guys

short answer, use ik/fk rig and read the docs on the reach settings (fk to ik blend maya, = reach T R 0=100) make the fk ctrls size bigger to make them easy to select.
