IK Rig controlled by body (HELP NEEDED) :)

Support Animation and Rigging

Hi,

I’ve wanted to start animating and I thought I should make a character for walk cycle practice, so I copied one that I saw on a animation tutor video but now when rigging I’m having a problem. I want the bone in the body to have an IK affect on the legs, so when I bring it down it will crouch etc. If anyone knows how I would do this please comment. This is the rig.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1CDAAF5EE1FF18C4 some ik leg tuts if your leg is not set up yet, if your legs are done parent the thigh bones to the body bone keep offset and not connected for the parent, I’m limited to 1/4 hour session at the libary so hopefully someone else can help you out also. you want a ik chain length of 2 for the legs
