IK Hierarchy Chains
Before we go any further, a word about IK chains. There are three types of chains:
• | Single Chains |
• | Direct Chains |
• | All Chains |
Single Chains
These are the most basic of chains. A single chain is a straight line with no secondary chain attached.
Direct Chains
These link directly to the core of the character rigging. A direct chain is a single chain which goes directly to the core.
All Chains
All chains are attached and move simultaneously when one part is moved.
