i would like to know if a “auto clavicle” functionality can be easily achieved for the arms and if yes how?
Ideally with an ON/OFF attribute
thank you!
Sure, why not? What have you tried already?
using multipy divide nodes ? would that be the easiest way to do it with Mgear?
in such cases a post custom step would be needed to get the setup re done after each build correct?
A quick google and this seems like a promising technique using an extra IK handle: Rigging an Automatic Clavicle System in Maya - YouTube
Yeah a post script would be your best bet.
thanks Chris
i had found this youtube video helpfull as well
How should the post script look like to automate this, after each rebuild? ( i am not a coder…)
I was looking for something like this, and I’ve been trying this on my end. Even following that youtube tutorial. It’s always the same issue though; it creates a cycle (with the cycle warnings and the cranky Maya). Is there a way to go around it with the MGear rig?
Thanks in advance 
Maybe a setup with the RBF manager will work well enough!?
i am just not sure if that setup can be set to be active / de activated . ON/ OFF?
Trying with the RBF setup, there’s also a cycle?
