Rigging becoming an uncontrolable mess...HELP!

posted to: Rigging a Dog

When I first rigged the front legs, they would twist unnaturally making it hard to control. After watching the video, I had some improvements. The back legs work almost perfectly while the front legs are better but still not good. The real problem came when I tried to rig the head ik as you do in the video. The head ik becomes uncontrollable and too fast to position it. HELP!

    Lol that question title made me chuckle. Because we've all been there!

    It sounds like there's an issue with double transforms happening. Could you provide a download link to your .blend file (via dropbox, google drive, or similar) so I can take a closer look?

    aannewebb Thanks for the file! Run through the head section of the video one more time. I see two things different in your file that will be much easier to watch than me trying to type it 😅. I will say it's the parenting for the Head.ik.target and Head that's messed up.

    Thanks! I think I got it! At least the head problem. Thanks for the response!
