I kinda partly wanted the hand to sink because the bed suppose to be softer, not firm like a coffin lol. Its easy to correct the sunk hand later on. The problem with animating with IK on in my opinion is I will rely to dragging the hands to pose them and I wont be able to effectively spin the dials on the other higher parts of the body like the shoulder while in IK off, you have more freedom and could do the same hand-feet dragging. Animating with IK on all the time could be nightmare if animating a very complex scene.

IK cannot really guarantee that the they will remain in place. It would be nice if poser will have a feature like "pin hands and feet"  that will render them frozen in place and cannot be moved whatsoever and with that I think IK would become obsolete and my system would be dragged along with it (oh noooo!).

Oh and if anyone will ask what screen capture software I used in making that tutorial, it is called camstudio. It's free and very reliable for use in making tutorials and would definitely recommend it so that we could at least fill up the video section in rendo.

I tried to upload my movie but it seems wmv format is not recognized or my video is too long (11 mins).

Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks angry, give it some love!
