• [ ] Segment with hip | need to make the ik control have a better feel when hip mode is on
• [ ] Check presets | ribbon mid for spline
• [x] Look at mid shaper follow setup - linear track vs blended constraint
• [x] Segment Tail | the aim end isn't working right if not in a parent segmentType
• [x] Muzzle file from user

[jjburton]

Segment Tail

• the option to have it follow curve isn't clear
• ikend is being parented to ik control as well as orient which we don't want

[jjburton]

Elk

• [x] Push leg updates to back
• [x] Mirror
• [x] Rebuild
• [x] Add hoof setup to post setup sdks
• [x] Setup anim structure
• [ ] Export
• [ ] Add to Menagerie

Wolf

• [ ] Setup anim structure
• [ ] Export
• [ ] Add to menagerie

[jjburton]

Form

Look at tracking setup...

• The slide setup scales weird
• Setup sliding tracker like prerig for segment
• ln1513 | attach setup

asdfasdf

• [x] add reusable call to blockshapes
• [x] form_snapHandlesToParam call
• [ ] Add to Builder
• [x] LIMB
• [x] SEGMENT
• [ ] HEAD
• [ ] Add support for this is blockDat

Spring

Ran into the twist issue again Found a decent vid on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc3f-s3fDK4

• [ ] loc root of extended ik
• [ ] parent to a non rotating part of rig
• [ ] zero with group
• [ ] orient constrain to the parent of the root
• [ ] Feed back into the twist of the extended chain

what a mess...

• Tried several ways of getting twist value out and it's simply not consistent enough
• Charles said he only got the solver working with xyz oriented chains so going to investigate that.
• XYZ orienting the chain didn't resolve the world twist error. The gist of it is that spring IK must be in world space (why I don't know). To resolve it we need to get the ik chain out of the rig twisting and trust to the rp setup to keep the twist...

However we still want scale to work so we need that. So the solution is to...

• Create a new worldScaleOnly null at the master root
• Parent it under the master null and scale constrain it to the master control. This is because we ONLY want scale on this and no other transform data from the master
• Parent spring IK chains to this so they can get their root scale...

However... we lose module root scale with this method so instead we need to create these with the same general setup BUT constrain it to the module root rather than the master

Block creation workflow optimization

• Too many block profiles
• Bring more options to the create state
• Answer key questions here

BUILDER

• [x] Remove cap on joint count

ShapeDat

• [x] remove blockScale as a part of the set/get process

Create UI

• [x] Add more attributes
• [ ] Build profile isnt being reflected in the options. Needs to be

HANDLE

• [x] | add addCog,pivot etc
• [x] | Simplify profiles: simpleShape, snapPoint, shapedForm

CG Monastery issues

• [ ] Talk to R again about options here
• [ ] Add move install directions to wikki
• [ ] Migrate important information
