For other readers that might be interested in this topic I also saw the thread where heyvern solves the issue by using an alternative rig. For the rig I was working with, this approach is the one I prefer, but heyvern's approach can be a cool rig that others might like as well.

You are welcome
I didn't remember Heyvern's thread, but I have used that technique for a very complex character. He was meditating, so I needed the elbows being fixed to the thighs. If I moved the legs, the elbows will follow that movement.

It gives you great control, but you actually lose the IK. For legs, for example, the knees are totally independent to any other part of the body, so would only use that for very very specific tasks.

Ha, ha, that character is terrific!

As always, thanks for sharing your rigging 'secrets'.

Thanks, the illustration was made by Óscar Chávez (the same guy who illustrated some of the AS10 box characters)

Makes a lot of sense. Great character and rigging
