Greetings Group! I've been away for awhile and involved in other creative endeavors, though I have continued to monitor the forum. I have a request on how to set up my worm models for easier movement and posing; much like a string of pearls. I always seem to get extreme results with my IK - I need work on the restraints. So, I spend a lot of time nudging and over-riding restraints in order to get the appropriate pose. I'm looking towards beginning to animate these guys and it would be good to avoid some grief. Would I perhaps be better off trying to get the models into Poser? Any thoughts or urls to good IK tutorials would be welcome. Happy Holidays!

I love these characters! They are fantastic. :) I guess its time for me to start working with IK in Carrara. Sorry I dont have any information for ya mclarsen. Anyone else have any tips? Clint

It's good to see those western scenes again ! :) Great atmosphere ! Here's a link for IK in Raydream : http://www.afx.com/tutorial/iktut.htm I hope that will help you ! litst

Thank you litst, that was just the type of information I was looking for. From the introduction, it sounds like it covers just my kind of problems. I'll keep you all posted as I progress. mclarsen

Great to see these guys again! Looking forward to seeing more.
