build an IK/FK arm or leg. From simple ik system to complex cartoony and mobile fk/ik with all features you need.

• shoulder/elbow/hand : respective part of the arm. Or for legs : hip/knee/ankle. hand should be object up from a double Usually, you want to give the shoulder (the real start of the chain, not upper) - elbow (rotate only in jointOrientY) - armEnd (1st end of the chain) wrist input is actually the armEnd. This one is double to have the wrist and, with -createScaleHand option on, give you a correct arm, ready to production. ORIENT : you have to orient X as an aim, and Y like bend axis.

Options :

• cartoon. All what you need to have flexible arm. This is the most common used option for a arm creature. It contains the round feature, stretch, auto roll, finetweak.

  

• fkik : switcher. And yes, wirth puppet soul you have a fkIk switch incorporated. Check the scriptNode Monk and RightMouse button Menu.

  

• basicCartoon : it’s a light version of the cartoon. With it you need to add the stretch and similar options (smoothIk, etc..) or allAdvanced option by hand.

<aside> 💡

This -basicCartoon drives the stiffness attribut of the joint, wich is buggy since may 2011 and lead to ustable inbetween value (when you are not to exactly at 0 or 1). This is known and could be corrected with the plug of -cartoon option like on the arm. However that was never a need from now as the -cartoon usefull is not obvious on the quadruped.
