Rig - IK won't follow the model

5sixsix_M

Hi, I am having an issue where I would move the model with the root_ctrl and the IK doesn't follow it. Like so:

This is when the FK/IK switch is turned on FK. If I turn it on IK, this happens: https://imgur.com/a/4ZZ6sf5
I am a beginner at rigging, so I don't really understand the nature of the problem. Does it have to do with the constraints? Or the nodes of the FK/IK switch?

show where those controllers are located in the outliner. fully expand so you can see any constraints involved.

what is the rig? is it advanced skeleton?

if you use the IK controllers, do they not behave as expected?

here's the outliner for the leg and arms https://imgur.com/a/wXDu4mW https://imgur.com/a/mcOtIO0

The rig is made from scratch (it's a student assignment), so it's not advanced skeleton from Maya.

The IK controllers behave as they should do, only if the model is located at 0,0,0. However, if I decide to move the model elsewhere, the IK rigs lag behind.

Update: I managed to fix it. I double-checked the entirety of the outlinear and noticed that the IK rig wasn't parent-constrained to the respective joints. Still, thanks for mentioning to look into the outliner

I am not too familiar with it myself, but I think the node editor may make troubleshooting that sort of thing a little easier, as you can see input and output connections for any given thing. Probably if you are doing some rigging courses you may be introduced to that at some point.
