Adding heel and toe twist with toe tap

00:03

First, we need some more attributes.

00:05

So create three new float attributes called heel, twist

00:10

to twist

00:11

and to tap.

00:15

Now open the connection editor.

00:18

The foot IK control automatically loads into the left side for us.

00:23

Let's look at the reverse heel and see which attribute we'll twist it

00:27

rotate. Why?

00:28

OK.

00:30

Load the heel joint into the right side of the connection editor.

00:33

And all we are going to do is connect the heel twist attribute

00:37

to the heel joints rotate Y attribute

00:40

as easy as that.

00:42

OK, let's check the toe joint

00:45

looks like we need rotate Y too.

00:47

So the toe twists,

00:49

load the reverse to into the connection editor

00:53

and connect to a twist

00:55

to rotate. Why?

00:57

So now we can pivot the foot from the tour

01:01

and also from the heel,

01:03

the toe tap takes a little bit more work to set up.

01:07

This time, we need to control the IK handles so they move up and down,

01:11

rotating the toes

01:13

first, clean the values on the two end

01:16

handles. So we have zero transforms

01:22

now connect to tap

01:24

to the translate Z attributes.

01:27

This will make them move up and down.

01:31

Now if you wanted to, you could set this up.

01:33

So you had two attributes, one for each tour

01:36

or maybe include one so the tours can spread too.

01:39

So move side to side.

01:42

Once you have the main reverse foot set up,

01:44

you can add as many extra finishing touches as you like.
