Improved IK/FK matching for arbitrary FK lengths

Congratulations on the release of the new version of mGear.
To better understand this improved feature, may I take the liberty to ask if there are any GIF animations or video demonstrations showcasing this functionality? Alternatively, are there any related images or documentation available?
Regardless, thank you very much for your truly exceptional work!

I show it in the youtube video

Oh, sorry, I only read the release log and missed the video.

Hello Miquel !
This is my first topic here.
I read that MGear 5.0.7 was fully supported for Autodesk Maya 2025 and 2026.
However I read somewhere that MGear does not support Maya 2026 on Linux.
Is it still the case ? If yes, does MGear 5.1.0 support now Maya 2026 on Linux ?
Thanks in advance,
Stephane H.

Hi @shoarau
Yes, mGear 5.1 supports Linux (it always supported it. Maybe was a beta version that was not supported )
The Maya 2026 solvers are here \platforms\2026\linux\x64\plug-ins
