I still haven’t found where I saw the IK hands being used. There is a lot on YouTube an even these forums that get lost an so I just recently started downloading videos to better organize on my own storage. So I finished your twelve videos an despite my short attention span I was able to finish with no problems. Your tutorials are easy to follow an understand. There was one thing I really like is in Moize Opels’ videos he shows a preview of what the video will teach.

I was trying to implement the look around head movement found in Kubolds’ MovementAnimsetProDemo an almost had it, but thought about the transform bone would be better as it doesn’t require specific animations. An when I took the aim offset blend space off the spines an hooked the animation back up the gun alignment was off so guess there was another negative towards blend spaces. I edited the ironsight copy we made so I just replaced it with the default animation when I put it back on the transform bone setup. A question about the transform bone though, I added two spine bones to the head turn so at what point is it to many?

Sorry for the late reply ScottH454,
You can add as many spine bones as you would like but to give a good overall feel of transforming the bones I usually have values either evenly distributed throughout the bones i want to manipulate at a low value or have give a slightly less alpha blend value to the bones that are higher in the bone chain because it never takes that much motion to make the bones that are lower in the chain to move allot when the root bones are moving.
