– So, we've created a simple IK rig of an arm…based on these three rectangle segments.…And moving it around by clicking on the control…layer looks pretty good.…In fact, let me make a little animation here by…hitting P for position, moving it forward…about a second, having it stretch way out like…that going to about two seconds.…Woops, accidentally clicked on the…side of that and stretched it out.…I'm going to hit Command Z, click back on it…and pull it down, and go to three seconds…and have it come right back.…
Let me hit the spacebar to preview.…It's a bit slow, but you get the gist.…There are a lot of customizable options for our rig…contained in the effects panel of our…hand control layer that will help customize…and make our character animation more practical.…Let's take a look.…I'm going to click on the hand layer.…I'll hit E to bring up the effects down here.…The IK forearm and goal are both part of the…effects using scripts to make this IK happen.…I'll double click on IK forearm to…bring up the effects control panel.…
