Having trouble with IK rigging in blender

Hi,

Are you using empties in you current setup? So, are you targetting empty objects in the IK constraint target section?

You might be better off creating a custom Rig setup, where IK in its more traditional sense can be used to change bone dependencies within the rig.



(If the above picture works as a gif) This is the sort of thing I mean, where the foot acts more like the Root bone but only to a certain point on the leg. This is an IK chain like those seen in a lot of professional animation Rigs.
