Painting wiehgts isnt working well. Is there any1 kind enough to take on the file and post it back. Your welcome to the rig after obviously.

Pix,

Where did you get your IK rig. I am having a real hard time getting it to function properly. Like I said in the other post, when I bound the skin with less influcences, the skin didn't seem to have nearly the problems.

However, I am really struggling with your IK rig. When I just screw around with the bones, the mesh seems to follow relatively ok.

There is an IK rig that comes with Maya. I have used it before very succesfully. You can delete some of the unneeded nodes.

I just realised. What do you mean you're having a hard time? I made the rig myself.

If you select the hand attr control (like in the picture) you will see that there is an IK_FK_Blend option. 0 is IK mode, and value of 10 is FK mode.
