    IK Chain problems!

    Posted by Bradley Bates on October 30, 2012 at 9:18 pm

    Hi guys!

    I’m having some trouble with creating an IK Chain and getting it to work. I’m using C4d R12 Studio.

    I’m not so new to Cinema just rigging so this is the first time I’ve used the IK chain and Joints.

    Basically I have created joints for 2 arms of table lamp, then selected the top and bottom joint then added an IK chain but upon moving the Chain nothing happens (apart from the cursor moving). Whereas I think it should move the arms?

    So the IK Chain doesn’t seem to be working?

    Thanks in advance.

    in the Character Menu “Use IK” is turned off so the IK isn’t working
