  • IK Chain not working properly

    Posted by Phil Harder on January 21, 2016 at 7:13 pm

    Good Evening,

    I’m having difficulties with IK Chains. It is kind of hard to explain, but I am animating a first person scene, so I only have the arms in sight. If I try to make an IK Chain from the shoulder to the wrist or the fingers, it works BUT the wrist gets stuck. So the arm moves, but the wrist is stuck in a specific point. So the hand moves around that point.

    Looks like this: https://prntscr.com/9t21hk https://prntscr.com/9t21t8

    I’ve checked everything and I couldn’t find any reason as to why that is stuck right there. Help would be greatly needed and appreciated!

    Have you checked whether the mesh is properly assigned to the joints with the weight tool?
