I have a mesh - a long braid connected to a head, I set it up properly and everything, but one problem remains:

When I move any chain braid segments by simply draging them around with them mouse in a pose room they influence each other, creating a smooth curve like I want them to, but they althou push the head arond, whick I don't want them to do. So the qestion is - how do I stop the head bone from moving when I move it's children?

Is the head included in your IK chain?

select a bone and pose by dials perhaps?

If you use "move/translate" option you move body part and parent bones. It is normal, because bone cannot be moved not affecting parent bones. You should change cursor to "twist" or "rotate" then your bone will not be moved.

Look at the manual section on the "Chain Break" tool, that's what it's for.

Thank you! That was exaclty what I needed - it figures I became so hung up on .cr2 editing and stuff like that that I missed the "big red button" lol**

In the cr2 'Chain Break' is 'dynamicsLock'. 1 = on, 0 = off.
