You solved the mysteries of IK/FK for me and every time I have to remember how this works I will get back again to this video. Super helpful, thank you!

I discovered your videos not too long ago, and I must say… your channel is a goldmine of information. Thank you!

@3:30 -ish: if you select the armature you can switch to pose mode by pressing CTRL-Tab. The pie-menu also fine, though. Nice tutorial, as always!

Good tutorial, but it would have been nice if you'd gone over how to _stop_ the mesh from breaking, via IK locking certain axis on specific bones.
