So you've lost tracking on an arm. You reach for the IK tool to place the limb correctly, the hands now in the right place, but instead of the elbow pointing to the floor, it points to the ceiling. How do you wrangle the rig so the IK bends the right way? I cant help but feel that once I start manually rotating joints, I'm setting myself up to have offset rotations down the line. Thoughts? Thanks in advance, AaronC |

Yes, this was recently added and it works through the clipboard. Basically, whatever you copy into the clipboard can be saved as a file and reloaded and pasted later, so you can build a library of poses. Poses can be for a specific bone or a chain of bones (i.e., a single finger or an entire arm,) or the entire body even. The current implementation of this feature even has a few presets built in for specific hand poses--it's what I used here in this test: 'Sister' Motion Test It helped me easily prevent the dreaded 'paddle hands' effect. :) Check the build notes for more information.
