[mellow acorn]

have you tried adjusting the chain length

[quick ibex]

yes

[mellow acorn]

oh wait

the issue here is kinda weird

but basically try rotating it on a specific axis

the one which u have not locked

because u r currently viewing it from a certain angle and rotating it in that angle

which u have limited the rig to

try rotating on the z axis alone

you can do this with r + z

please do tell if it works

if not just send the blend file so i can see for myself

[quick ibex]

i cant

[mellow acorn]

ok just send me the file so i can check it out

[quick ibex]

i have tried on 3 different versions of blender: same issue

[mellow acorn]

im not exaclty sure what is going on here

but its most likely and issue caused during the rigging

im not the best person to ask about rigging

but give me a bit and ill try to figure this out

in the meantime try to make the legs and rig them again from scratch being very careful on how you follow the tutorial

@quick ibex

[quick ibex]

i have tried

[mellow acorn]

well clearly its not working so there must be something you are doing wrong

like i said i dont know much about rigging so ill try to see if someone else can help

@silent grove

can give me a hand here

[quick ibex]

I did everything perfectly following the tutorial

[mellow acorn]

have done the basics of blender already

or is this one of your first projects

[quick ibex]

i use blender already for a year

but it is one of my first rig project

[mellow acorn]

hmm

ok

[quick ibex]

sorry for my bad english btw

[mellow acorn]

no you're good

[sour fog]

okay you made it badly. let me explain

you need to clear the roll on all the bones in edit mode

CTRL+R will clear it. but this will mess up your parenting. so you will need to clear the parent to all the bones, then clear the roll, then re-parent

[quick ibex]

I don't think i did it right, but this doesn't work for me

I have unparented all parts, cleared the roll (Alt R), but in Pose mode i still can't rotate it properly

I have tried on a small rig too, nothing works

[robust badger]

I think you unlocked the wrong axis

[quick ibex]

this it not the case, i cant rotate it even when all axis are unlocked

[robust badger]

Okay that's really weird

[robust badger]

Try removing the ik and add it again ,i had the same problem but it was solved by clearing the rotation

[quick ibex]

this doesnt work, i have tried

[robust badger]

Then it comes to one place back ,you gotta do it from scratch again

[quick ibex]

i have tried, doesnt work eather

[robust badger]

💀

I was planning to complete that course but it's been postponed
But one of the helpful role is trying to fix that i think ,you should wait

[sour fog]

as i've explained, your bones are twisted

alt+R clears the roll

also, it's good practice to **not **have your bones perfectly flat. this can confuse the IK. you should nudge the joints up a fraction to let the IK solver know which way the joint naturally should bend

as you can see here it bends exactly as it should

all you need to do is re-parent to the now-corrected bones
