Re: animating biped arms/legs
A script for emulating a pole vector should be possible without adding IK, although I am not aware of any....you could add IK controls and blend between, but much faster to just fix the upper arm using FK and animate like you normally would. Character Studio rigs apparently have this built in since you can switch between… -

The red dot indicates you have a planted key set on that frame and that is where the… -
