Hi Dennis, << Is this understandable? >> well….:-) << Your elbow is out to your side. As your hand"CD" moves away from your body, your elbow"B" moves at half the distance of your hand in the hand direction, and also moves in toward the center of your body as it moves. >> This movement seems similar to me (in the IK sense), to bringing your knees up to your chest while jumping in the air and all of the time the toes stay pointed towards the floor. Please review the following file for some possibly additional insights to several different methods of IK approaches.. File Info for FLIP.ZIP Section: Mesh/Project Files Contributor: 73172,1351 Size: 95951 Submitted: 10/21/94 Type: Binary Accesses: 207 Title: IK Backflip Keys: IK FLIP R4 This is an example of using IK a number of different ways. A woman doing a 1 1/2 back flip off of a diving board. There was no keyframing of the board or the woman on my part. All movement solved for by using IK. This zip includes a solved version and an unsolved version so that the R3 users can compare the two files. Note also the flip.zip (a flip.fli) in the Animations section of the lib.
