==Animation rig with IK and FK==

Currently we have a rig available in the form of a Blender scene available [http://mods.oni2.net/node/388 HERE]. The rig was made by Geyser and Delano762, and a '''loose''' tutorial on how to use it is available [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3245 HERE]. The rig is based off the Rigify plugin for Blender.

The rig has these capabilities (which come with Rigify by default, unless otherwise noted):

* Snapping to Oni animations through bone constraints controlled by the Z location of the objects in the Pose Matching layer (added feature)

* Inverse and Forward Kinematics (IK and FK)

* Snapping between IK and FK chains

* Function to snap IK hand controller rotation to the wrist bone, integrated into rig_ui.py (added feature)

* IK joint poles for specifying limb joints (elbows and knees) should be facing

* Sliders specifying how much the neck, head and FK limbs should retain their world space rotation – that is, Neck Follow, Head Follow and FK Limb Follow

* IK Foot pivoting controllers around toes and the heel

* Root bone

* The rig has some scripts available for it listed below
