Re: Ik handle disadvantage

does anybody know if it is possible to use an IK handle on an arm and also achieve a bicep twist from a joint between the shoulder and the elbow. When the the Ik handle is applied the bicep twist bone is disabled for a controlable FK twist.
Does anybody know any solution to this?

a bicept twist...?? bicept muscles do not twist, hence a bicept muscle would not need to be twisted as well. i don' t know excactly what u are trying to acheive, but the bicept joint is there purely for deformation purposes. since the shoulder bone is a ball joint (it rotatates in all axis) and the elbow is a hinge joint (rotates in one axis) the bicept joint is there to maintain volume when these 2 joints are manipulated. kinda like why u need a forearm joint between the wrist and the elbow. the wrist is a ball joint and and the elbow a hinge joint.
