Leg_3jnt_01: Unwanted stretchiness

Hi all,

I’ve noticed that for the leg_3jnt_01 component, if you set ‘Full 3 bones IK’ attribute to 0, the legs will stretch, even if the ‘Stretch’ attribute is set to 0. Setting the ‘Full 3 bones IK’ attribute to 1 stops this behavior (stretch turns off as expected if it is set to 0). I was just curious if there was a reason for this behavior? I feel like the leg should never stretch if the ‘Stretch’ attribute is at 0.

Thanks,

Shaun

(You can see it in the screenshot below - ‘Full 3 bones IK’ set to 0, ‘Stretch’ is off, but the leg is stretching. This is built from the standard quad template.)

yes, that is a side effect of the current design. For the moment there is no plans to update it.

Explanation: since the IK is cut to give the 2 Joint ik, the last part of the leg gets free to move without limits and that is why we have this side effect.
