Jul 1, 2008 - I set up the legs with IKs. I have 4 joints for each leg. Let's say joint 1 is attached to the body, and joint 4 is the tip of the leg. I set up 2 IKs, from joint 1 to joint 3, and joint 3 to joint 4.

Jul 1, 2008 - Then, create 2 empty group nodes, snap each to the two ikHandles, then parent them.Assuming you did not rename the group nodes and the ikHandles, your hierarchy should look like this. null1 -- ikhandle1 -- null2 -- ikHandle2.Another way to setup this type of leg is simply setting up an IK from joint 1 to joint 4. Try both and see which one gives you the behavior you want.Hope that help!~

Jul 8, 2008 - Thank you for your reply and i did try the IK and, i must admit i am not enough of an expert with IK to do me any good, after i set up the IK the leg kept bending at the wrong places until i tried it the way you proposed above and it worked :) :D thank you
