IKFK matching and baking for AnimRigs


IKFK Matching
1. Download the free IKFK script HERE (Right click > Save Link As)
2. Open Maya
3. Reference in an AnimRig, steps covered in the Quick Start Guide
4. Animate the arm, leg, spine in either IK or FK
5. Opening the Script
         1. Maya > Windows > General Editors > Script Editor
         2. Script Editor > History > [x] Suppress Duplicate Variable Error Messages
         3. Script Editor > File > Source Script... , Locate the kfAnimRig_IKFK.mel file, select it and click 'Open'
         4. Script Editor > MEL Tab, type the following mel command:

         kfAnimRig_IKFK();

         
         5. Script Editor > MEL Tab, press enter to run the command
         6. A new UI should pop up, feel free to close the Script Editor
         
7. In the IKFK UI, click the button you wish to perform, to either match the IK limb to the FK or vice versa





An alternative matching script was written that is a bit more user friendly, so if you're having issues with mine, do try Michael's!

Wrote an FK/IK match 'n' switch for @KielFiggins rigs available here: https://t.co/MKn9273Dok

A little different from original tool as it's a single button press and will work on any limb control in any mode (FK or IK).
