Strange FinalIk limbik jitter when character NOT selected.

[JohnG]

Hi,

Issue with integration result from opsive ucc and final ik.

The issue is when I add the limbik.

When I setup limbik (left shoulder, left arm, left hand), and have the character root selected in the hierarchy everything is fine, however when I click off the character root in the hierarchy, there is a huge jitter on the limbs used in limbik (especially left hand).

Any ideas on how to solve this (posted this on finalik unity thread as well)?

I am not familiar with the LimbIK component. My guess though is that it needs to be updated at the same time as the other components within the FinalIKBridge. What advantage does the LimbIK component have compared to FullBodyIK? I thought that FullBodyIK can do handle all of the limbs?

Thanks Justin. I am not familiar with the finalik product, just following tutorials. I will check out the fullbodyik and will report back here incase someone if having the same issue.

Actually I know why I used limbik, it had todo with hand positioning on the weapons (If you use your own models the hands are not lined up correctly). This is the case if you are using your animations. I recently purchased Kubold animations so will swap some out to see if this solves the positioning issue.

The positioning information I was using was from this thread...

Adjusting Arms to Weapons

I watched your Third Person Weapon Setup on Youtube here: and I do have the weapon showing up in Third person... and adjusted the weapon's positioning so it's at least pointing straight... and on line, etc. but I have a couple of questions: 1. I assume to get the rifle to shoot, reload and...

I have moved away from limbik and am following the advice from you at this thread:

Non Dominant hand IK issues

Hi I'm adding a few weapons to my characters and am using the default animator to learn. When I create a third person character the non dominant hand is in a weird position for the pistol. On the weapon there is a non dominant hand helper which I'm able to use to get pretty good results but then...

It seems to work well now, im just busy with the reload state part of the solution.
