Yes you need IK.


OP your prompt and responses are frustratingly vauge.

You're surprised at the depth of complexity of the average rig which would be a pretty reasonable stance for a newbie.

But you're writing an auto rigger? Which would imply to me you're somewhat experienced.

But you're reading a 16 year old SIGGRAPH paper to presumably educate yourself which again tells me you're a newbie.

Please give us more info here. What is your experience level? What stage is your auto rigger at? What are your goals for the auto rigger?

And for gods sake stop reading that paper, its not a relevant educational source for today's tech.

Happy to supply some resources if you need. Im also writing an auto rigger at the moment based on what I've used at previous studios.
