Week 8

Halfway through the semester. So I went about trying to fix a little IK problem I found with my helper IKs. I noticed that two of my IK handles in the front legs had mysteriously disappeared at some point. So I went in and added them in as I was making the Helpers for the front legs.

I was not sure what was going on, but I was able to fix it despite taking several hours to figure out the situation and as to why everything was acting funky. Because the bottom of a giraffe's foot is so different in it's build (I blame the foot being off the ground) It makes determining where IK handles go a little difficult. But at last, I've fixed them. Al be it with a little awkwardness. But nothing a little pole vector constraint won't fix. Sadly the stretch controls are not all working properly, so I'll have to fix that this weekend.





So I've been beating up this giraffe in my mind and my peer Cameron is wishing for his rigged zebra. So next week, I am returning to it and essentially copying all of these controls over to it.
