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!

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
