Animation Problem, PLEASE HELP

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Using IK handles in the legs and feet SHOULD keep the feet in place.

Thanks For the Help.

First of all thanks for the help guys.

Kurt : I will post some pics later iam work now but i will post some pics later.

MTMCKINLEY: I have used MAYA 4.5 since it was released but now that i am using MAYA 5 i cant get the feet to stay in place. Maybe i did something wrong but i am doing what i always did and i cant figure out why the feet wont stay.

Any other suggestions gentlemen. And, again thanks for the help.

I got it. Thanks all for help

I figured it out! You must have "sticky" checked under the IK tool options menu. In 4.5 it is checked under the default, in 5.0 it is not checked under default.

Thank You everyone who helped , i really appreciate it.
