This is the most simplified IK rigging tutorial I've ever watched! Thanks a million!

Truly, a 9 minute tutorial that actually teaches you IK beats a shoddy 2 minute one any day. Also thanks for keeping the mistakes in, it doubles the value of the tutorial.

Professional, clear, direct -- without an annoying soundtrack or mannered voice narration. Thanks!

This deserves more views. Very informative, perfect pace. Easy to follow, even for someone who's only been looking into animation for two weeks. Thank you!

man... you havev no clue how helpful this tutorial is. I struggled for the longest time with IK. And the Pole nomes... oml don't even get me started. You're a real lifesaver

Thank you for making a succinct and to-the-point video about what I've been trying so hard to pick up on. The other 1,000 videos on this topic seem to be made by people who can't clearly communicate the concept without making it *way* more complicated and difficult than it needs to be.

No just saying, But I NEED THIS! There are almost no good rigging tutorials dude. This was the hardest part. Thanks a LOT and make tons of riggingg stuff

I didn't know it would be as easy as that , i really appreciate your efforts for helping us 😍

the only tutorial that worked for me, and in a hurry for a deadline. i was desperated, thanks!!!

thank you so much! I have watched over 15 videos about lk rigging and none of them helped me. now I understand what Ik is and how it works. thank you again.

Very good tutorial. I didn't understand all of it but I'm sure I will when I've watched it a few times. Thankyou.

This tutorial is GOLD. Plenty of clear information here, more precise than other videos that make a somewhat confused usage of the options inside IK constraint. Bravo PIXXO

Armatures, and IK in particular, are something I find confusing, so videos like this where everything is presented in an easy to follow way and leisurely pace are much appreciated.

Thank you! I'm still wrapping my head around rigging, but this helped immensely!

Best beginner IK video

THANK YOU! this is the most informative video i've seen about rigging! now I understand plenty of new things!!!!

If anyone's having issues keeping the shape of your mesh when moving the IK controller, don't disconnect the bones, it still works. Maybe it's because of differences between versions of blender since 2020. Thanks for the great tutorial!!

Thank you so much, your tutorial has much clarity, and it is easy to follow and understand! Just subbed!

Your video makes it a lot easier to understand the "simple" mechanic behind the IK-System. the "problem solve" at min 7:30 quit my rage mode I had because of another video on youtube ... I can't figure out, why my armature was moving so horrible fast while moving the "IK-Bone" ... You saved my interest in blender

Thank you for addressing poles, I was entirely unaware of that feature.

Such a useful video. Super clear and concise! Thank you!

Thank you for demystifying the IK "mystery". The oops that you made, does not reflect negatively...it does in fact teach us something. (to err is human, to forgive is Devine). Just what I need to get going again; now I know how to add a tail to my character.

The best one so far....thanks.

this is so much better.. I finally understood how to set up IK

Thank you!! Very useful!

Ive wasted so much time. Youve changed my entire work flow. Thanks!

Totally awesome video. Finally able to understand how to make IK work! Thanks.

0:35 "... Limb or Tentacle, and I wanted to bring this Por- .. uhh this bone here...." Gotcha pixxo . I see you're a man of culture as well, by what you associate with tentacle xD

Finally I found you! Thank you!

Very efficient tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you!

dude just wanna tell you it's really good

Awesome guide just what I needed! Thank you for taking the time to make the video. 😀

Great, really efficient tutorial, thanks so much, so helpful.

This video is incredibly useful, thanks for the accessible but informative vid friend

Your vedio is very knowledgeable.. 🤗🤗

i usually use empty object for ik rig

This is epic! Thank you for sharing!

excellent tutorial, thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks a ton man

Thank you very much .

What if I want ik to be able to bend in different directions at different times.

Thanks for posting, you are awesome! THX

Very very helpful. Thank you for this.

nice video , i think it would be better if it has double Ik in order to move smouthly . good luck !

I HAVE INCURRED SO MUCH LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN...I TRADE WELL ON DEMO BUT I THINK THE REAL MARKET IS MANIPULATED... CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG ?

Oh yes, nice one, that has made it easy, thank you :)

Great info, thanks!

thank you！omg ！never benn so clear

简洁明了，非常感谢！

Thanks very much for tutorial..

One catch I noticed is that you can move the IK bone far enough that it physically separates from the rest of the rig and takes the bones parented to it with it. Is there any sort of constraint or option that keeps this from happening? Like can it stay visually connected to the other IK bones but maintain its independent rotation etc.?

Thank you very much friend

Nice video tyvm,i was getting crazy trying to create this kind of movement ♥️🤍🖤💛 by the way maybe is just me but every time ,i hear "reggae" instead rigging xD

Very nice thank you!

The Alternative is Auto Ik that is pretty good because there no need to spend time

Thank you so much!!

you are amazing thank you

Legend!

Thanks !

when I did the same thing wich you did my controler bone is rotating

What's the purpose/Logic of the "pole target"? I find many rigging tutorials just say add it but don't explain it :/

Thank you so much!

I have a tangentially related question. If you don't have access to mocap equipment, what is the best workflow to get the most realistic animations possible? So far I've tried chopping up a video of someone doing the movement I want into individual pictures (a woman jogging in this case) and trying to pose the mesh alongside it frame by frame, but this is really painful. Also, using IK doesn't seem to speed up the process very much. FK seems to be just as fast, as far as I can tell, because it requires a lot of very minute, granular adjustments.

Is there way to add a constraint to the amount a bone moves in an axis, like say i wanted the middle bone to only move on the y axis and nothing else

Nice

instead of CRTL shift C where I can find that option

I use Blender 2.92 and there is not any short keys or panel for Inverse Kinematics. How should I do this?

Mine doesnt have Inverse Kinematics. Blender 3.2.1

😎

I was super close. You lost me with the parent thing

yeet

sub!!
