hum...
I have to test MB again...
but I was so confused about when to use keying modes like fullBody or bodyParts or selection in addition with reachT and R. by now I can tell you that I get a complete mess after a few keys especially with the feet and I seem to have a soft spot with creating unpredictable limb movement. since I worked through the FBIK setup in maya today and gathered some overall understanding about the system, I think if especially you say it´s very worth it, I just give it another try now.
didn´t you ever come to a point where you thought you could do the same with maya in the same time like motionbuilder? because today morning I had this feeling in a very strong way.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
