What do you do with the sholder when you make the HI solver for the arm? Do you include the shoulder in the HI?

[3dcognition]

@ifancycookies - that is a fair question, but I have to get back into it to answer, and I'm in the middle of some other stuff. Anyone else care to give some tips?

Great Tutorial mate!! filled in some gaps in my knowledge and is just what I was looking for.

BTW your root bone looks like a penis, nice touch.

[3dcognition]

@NightShiftCG - glad you liked it but I was not aiming for the penis look, it was just a good place to put a handle!

I found helpful and easy to follow. The low resolution is defiantly a good idea for those with a slower internet connection.
