Cleaning up the arm IK controls

00:03

Now that's set up, we can clean up the controls.

00:07

So move the arm PV, controls, attributes values down to the offset parent matrix tab

00:14

like this,

00:15

we can also do the same with the main arm IK control too.

00:20

OK. Let's fix the wrist now.

00:22

So this needs to match the controls orientation.

00:25

So it stays level no matter what the rest of the body does.

00:30

All we need to do is use an orient constraint.

00:33

So the hand eye care joint is constrained to the control.

00:38

So select the control

00:40

and then the hand eye care joint

00:43

and go to constrain orient,

00:46

you can disable maintain offset because they

00:49

should both have the same orientations,

00:52

apply that

00:54

and we have control over the hand. Now,

00:58

if I move the body,

00:60

the hand maintains its orientation.

01:04

Actually, it looks like we need to play around with some of the weights here.

01:08

But this is what's good about having a skinned model. As you're building the rig,

01:12

you get to spot areas like this as the model is deforming.

01:16

OK. So the army is now set up with icare controls.
