What a pose haha

Your box effectors aren't showing in this pic anymore so they're likely being shot off somewhere far away in the direction the legs are pointing, should track down where the LegL and LegR target points for the IK are going and why/how they're getting there

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

No, box effectors are underground where the leg SHOULD be

#

#

I have no idea why this works like as it does.

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

Also another thing that may help, you might already be doing this but put the Hints for this IK behind the legs, the dinos legs/knees go backward compared to ours

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

Thanks, modified.

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

Weeeeeeird, does it behave like normal when you're not doing any scripting and just playing with the Ik manually?

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

I'm not doing any scripting haha

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

wtf lol

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

Yeah exactly!

#

So it should be at the position where the target is right?

#

Can the problem be with the model?

#

Or as the rig is set up?

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

Should be yeah although I vaguely remember having issues myself with things not lining up properly and I think the root cause was because of some parent / child relational weirdness with inherited transforms and stuff

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

Hm interesting, what can I try?

#

I just pressed reset bind pose and this happened, not sure if it makes a difference

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

😆 like an ostrich burying it's head in sand

#

Is you animator on the root on the dino? I assume so

Could try making an empty child under that with transform pos and rotation set to 0's then move your Ik rig stuff under that, also making sure their transform pos and rotations are 0'd out

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

Yeah I think he heard that

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

gleaming heart Is you animator on the root on the dino? I assume so Could try making an empty ...

Yes, it is

#

So I put the rig into the dino's root,

#

It was like that already, so nothing happens. Interesting.

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:45 PM

#

Yeah that's weird, hard to say what's going on

Looking at the rig closer it could be something up with that, I can see your IK chain goes Foot -> Tibia -> Femur but the rig hierarchy goes Foot -> Metatarsals -> Tibia -> Femur

That could be causing it to shit the bed too, I think IK chain needs to be a continuous hierarchy

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:48 PM

#

Yeah the bone hierarchy could be the problem, because the model was not made by me so I have no freaking idea whats femur and such. Let me quickly send it here so it'll become clearer.

#

This I believe is the upperleg bone (called femur)

#

This is the tibia

#

Metatarsal

#

And a juicy feet pic

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

Try replace the foot tip with the metatarsal and see what happens

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

Changing swimming styles by the second

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

Poor lil guy is trying his best

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

Also, I noticed that I can corrigate this by moving the target a bunch, but that sounds unhinged and counterintuitive

#

Can I somehow copy a position in the game view and then paste it in the scene?

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

Yeah you can copy tranform value when in play mode and then stop and paste those same values

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:53 PM

#

I know but what values should I copy?

#

Or am I just guessing

#

By placing the target really far away

#

Thats for the left target if I wanted to corrigate

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

Nah trying to compensate by moving the target far away will likely bite you in the arse later on, better to fix the problem at it's core

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

I think I understand the issue. When I move the target, the limb doesn't bend, it just moves up-down-right-left)

#

So the bones might be set up incorrectly?

#

Here's what I mean

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

I dunno, maybe, just have to dig into it deeper and try find out

Do you have any animations or anything working on the dino?

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

gleaming heart I dunno, maybe, just have to dig into it deeper and try find out Do you have an...

Yes animations are working.

#

Somehow I got this working earlier but I have no idea how.

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

What happens when you rotate that target?

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

It rotates the feet accordingly.

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:00 PM

#

I dunno tbh

If you haven't already, I'd say try get a basic IK rig working outside the dino and see if you can learn anything from that

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:00 PM

#

You mean a humanoid rig?

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:04 PM

#

yeah somethin like that or you could maybe get away with making up your own test arm/leg with cubes/capsules but tbf I've never actually tried that myself

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:04 PM

#

Yeah well this guy went smoothly

#

So its probably the bones I assume

#

So the core issue might be in Blender

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

It's often a struggle working with this kinda rigging stuff or at least when it's something non standard

You could sense check the rotations on bones by setting the tool handles to be in local space and then checking each of the bones to see how they're rotated

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

How should they be rotated?

#

0:0:0?

#

Dumb question actually

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:07 PM

#

I dunno, I never worked with dino rigs or 3 bone ik stuff

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:08 PM

#

Interesting if I set the femur's rotation to 0, I get the pose

#

I miss some wings from this pic actually.

#

So it uses the 'rest' pose of the dinosaur on start I guess

#

Which means...

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:12 PM

#

Go on.... 👀

#

I haven't had to do much that concerned rest poses but I'd imagine that's just the pose of the rig when no transformations are applied to any of the bones

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:17 PM

#

You remember the ostrich pose huh?

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:19 PM

#

how could I forget the ostrich

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

#

Good, now comes the stronger one

#

#

Alright end of story, the king arrived.

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:30 PM

#

he works alright?

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:30 PM

#

Ye he does

#

Can't say I never treat 'em

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

sweet, bin the other fucker 😄

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

gleaming heart sweet, bin the other fucker 😄

Yeah looking forward to it. First I have to move the other 4 hours onto this fucker

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

what are the 4 hrs?

sturdy garden Oct 29, 2025, 8:33 PM

#

Foot placement IK scripting

#

But the whole setup was wrong so of course it went to a waste

gleaming heart Oct 29, 2025, 8:33 PM

#

oof that'll be fun, good luck, you might need it haha
