That's why you don't try and solve it computationally. You don't replace normal animation, you use this for minor adjustments to the existing animation, and you limit the strength of the adjustment to small angles and specific joints. So it's down to the person selecting the base animation and providing the strength and possibly range (either distance or angle). > E.g. in one case I have seen the solver to keep the hands next to the > avatar's waist but stick the waist forward to reach a goal. Wouldn't happen, unless the person selected the waist as the joint that would move, and unless the waist was already close to the goal. > IK is a nice tool, but extremely hard to use unless you have an > animator > guiding it.
