Chain_IK_spline + Chain_Whip

Support
#1

Howdy folks,

I was curious if there is a way to get the “sliding” of the “Chain_Whip” component i believe its called “Length Control” incorporated with the Chain_IK_Spline? or to get those 2 to play together.

Because i want my rig animating like the IK chain but that sliding feature on the whip is REALLY useful for the type of anims that are going to be done with my set up.

Only solution i’ve come up with at the moment is to generate both rigs and have my deformation skell blend between the chains based on what features i want (old IK/FK switch type deal :P) but thats a lot of stuff flailing around doesn’t seem elegant.

Any ideas? Or is there a feature somewhere i’m overlooking. (i’m on mGear 3.6.0) haven’t updated yet

Thx a bunch!

Hello @Hobbz

Each component has his own functions and design. It is possible to create a new component to add the functionality needed, but you will need to edit the code.
Probably all the information is there, just need to copy paste and adjust parts in the code.
