  Duik: limit angle rotation in IK rigging

  Posted by Timoteo Fontanella on September 11, 2017 at 3:53 pm

  Hello guys,
  I’m rigging a character with duik and I’m gonna focus on the arm-forearm chain. They are on the same layer so I used puppet pins, bones and IK to end the process. I’d like to limit the angle rotation of the arm while I don’t need lo limit the forearm ‘s rotation.
  Is there a parameter I’m not aware of or do I need some extra line of code?

  Thank you in advance

  Problem solved thanks to duduf from duik forum.

  For anyone interested here is the solution:

  – create a one-layer IK on the forearm using a controller on the hand
  – create another one-layer IK on the arm, using the same controller
  – adjust the “weight” property of the IK of the arm to limit its rotation
