    Hello,

    I’m a new user to Cinema 4D, I’m a Maya user, and having some trouble transferring across. I can’t find controls on my rig for IK/FK and facial controls. In Maya these controls would usually be located under the channel box, what window/setting do most Cinema 4D rigs use for such a thing?

    Thank you very much,

    Chris

    Hi,

    Not sure if this is what you’re talking about, but IK is found in the Character>Commands menu.
    As for facial setups, normally I use the ‘Pose Morph’ tag, which can be added by right-clicking and going to Character Tags.
    It works similar to the morphing in Maya (as far as I remember) but instead of having separate objects all your morphs are stored in this tag and applied with sliders.

    Hope this helps!

    I was looking for an IK/K switch but I don’t think there is one for this rig.

    With the posemorphs, if they were already on this rig, where would I go to find the sliders, is there a menu for tags on individual objects, or are they kept within layers? I’m very new to cinema 4d so step by step explanation would be amazing!

    Thank you for the help!

    if there is one it should be on the Pose Morph tag itself.
    On the Tag, in its attributes menu under the Tag heading there’s the choice of Mode, either Edit or Animate.
    On the Edit mode you can set the points (or whatever you’ve selected) to their final positions, and in the Animation mode you see these poses as sliders to move and keyframe. (see below)
