Maya IK Handle Orientation

ballew_m32

Hi All,

Can't find an answer anywhere else. Every time I constrain my spline handle to the IK handle, the manipulator goes into world mode. This causes undesired deformation. Is there a way to have the handle and spline rotate on the joint's axis? Pics are below.


Thanks!

This pic shows how the handle rotates the joint on the world axis




This is how rotation is desired. If I don't reset the handle's rotation it works just fine. But then, of course, I can't ever 0 it out.

I would advise you to get script for Joint Orientation, I'm not sure if it will help you with that, but it's priceless in terms of orienting joints
