A larger value dampens the effect of the IK solve, smoothing its snapping effects at the cost of accuracy.

A larger value allows more stretch for the IK chain when the target is beyond the length of the chain.

Sets the accuracy of the solve. A higher value is faster but less accurate.

When turned on, uses the pole vector to twist the IK chain.

When turned on, uses the goal rotation for the target orientation. When turned off, uses the solver’s position for the target orientation.

When turned on, resists straightening of the IK chain.

When turned on, sets the pole vector controls to world orientation.

When turned on, sets the tip controls to world orientation.

When turned on, sets the root controls to world orientation.

The amount to offset the pole vector in the direction of the middle joint (between the root and tip). The IK chain must be slightly bent for this to work.

When turned on, sets the name parameter to be a prefix. When turned off, sets the name parameter to be a suffix.

Segments are tags that separate each IK chain. For example, *Leg loops over tags L_Leg and R_Leg. Tags can be set up on skeleton joints using an Attribute Adjust Array SOP. See preparing skeletons for rigging for more information.

If segments is empty, the multiik logic is run once.

The nodes to drive. You can specify the individual joints, for example, L_Hip, L_Knee, L_Ankle, or a tag that exists on the TransformObject nodes, for example, %tag(ik) & %tag(L_Leg).

It is good practice to also specify the bind tags that are set up by default on the fktransform component’s tags parameter. The fktransform component is normally the first component used to start building a rig. Including the bind tag helps to ensure that you don’t include other controls that might have inherited, for example, the L_Leg tag. So in this case, you can set driven to %tag(bind) & %tag(ik).

The parent of the root control(s). When empty, the root control has the same parent as the root node of the IK chain. To unparent the root control, put an underscore in rootparent.

The parent of the tip control(s). When empty, the tip is not parented.

The parent of the pole vector(s). When empty, the pole vector is parented to the tip.

The tag that is added to the roots created by this component.

The tag that is added to the pole vectors created by this component.

The tag that is added to the targets created by this component.

The shape of the controls. It can be set to any of the built-in APEX control shapes.

The scale of the control shapes.

The color of the control shapes.
