I'm currently half way through recording a series of rigging video tutorials. As part of the series I built a reasonable IK Leg with a fair number of different features. So as a contribution for anyone learning rigging heres a nice working IK Leg which includes the use of several options and IK features.


Whilst it can't currently be keyframed, it should prove useful as a template for seeing how some effects can be achieved.


I would suggest opening the scene, checking out the various handle reactions, and then copying each IK chain's setup one at a time to a new skeleton you build for yourself in the same scene. Might be worth a right mouse click on each IK handle to see how the options for each are set up. Would suggest changing the options for each to see the changed effect and why each was set up as it was.


There are a load of different ways this could be set up, but this one has been designed to offer several different ways of building, but all on 1 rig.


I will be demonstrating the building of this example in my video tut series, with an explaination of the various options, but meantime feel free to have a play.


Have fun
