Testing condition nodes for arm IK space

00:03

Let's test this on the control.

00:07

Ah OK.

00:09

It would help if we actually connected the blend matrix node to the arm IK control.

00:15

OK. Move this over

00:17

and connect output matrix to the arm I care controls,

00:21

offset parent matrix attribute.

00:24

Well, it's moved. So that's a good sign.

00:27

Let's close this.

00:29

So the arm should now follow the cop control.

00:32

It does great.

00:34

Let's swap to hips now

00:37

and it follows the hip control.

00:40

Let's move the root control now

00:42

which will eventually control the clavicle too

00:45

and switch follower to clavicle.

00:49

The hand now follows this control

00:53

and world just leaves it floating in world space.

00:57

So we do have all these locators. Now,

00:60

the animator can use these to control the hand's placement.

01:03

So it could be sat on the creature's hips, for example, as the hips are moving.
