3 Select the right hand (forefoot), then on the Key Info
rollout click Set Sliding Key. Do the same for the left hand (forefoot).
NOTEBoth Set Planted Key and Set Sliding Key set IK Blend equal to 1, but
only Set Planted Key turns on Join To Prev IK Key. Join To Prev IK Key causes
the limb to snap to the pivot set in the previous IK key. Set Sliding Key doesn’t
cause the pivot snap; this contributes to a more natural motion for the
forelegs.One advantage of the ForeFeet toggle is that it lets you set keys such as
this for “hands” on the ground plane, as you do for feet.NOTEThe track bar shows sliding keys in yellow, planted keys in orange,
and free keys in gray.4 Double-click the right clavicle to select the entire arm (foreleg),
then on the Copy/Paste rollout, click Copy Posture.
