Hey guys, I’m assuming this is a simple problem (such as an option I need to check/uncheck), so:

I’ve got a CAT rig, the parent is linked to a dummy (which happens to be controlling a motorbike), meaning the whole CAT rig moves with the dummy and follows the bike.

I have another dummy controlling the handlebars of the bike, and I’d like this dummy to dictate the movement of the CAT rig’s hands.

I’ve tried rigging it a few different ways (such as linking the palms to the bike’s actual polys, or creating extra dummies) but the result is always the same; the palms move without the arms!

I was expecting movement similar to biped, where you move the hands, and the rest of the arm follows due to the IK. but this never happens. Do I have to create a certain kind of animation layer, or enable some form of IK allowance?

Also, foot platforms are EVIL.

Ok is simple:

Step1 - Select the hand of your cat rig model

step2 - go in menu motion in Limb Animation group

Step3 - click on Create IKtarget button (cat will create a helper point on the hand)

step4 - clik on Select IK targhet button and automatically cat will switch the ik on
the pointer

Step5 - move the IK/FK slider to Ik

now you can link or unlink the pointer on any object that you want

Hey, thanks alot for the help, these IK targets are making my animation much easier to manage.
