IK Control Rig V2

IK Control Rig brings professional Inverse Kinematics control to Genesis 8
and Genesis 9 in DAZ Studio. Pose characters with clear yellow ring handles
in the viewport — no fighting bone axes, no manual joint wrestling.

Version 2 keeps the solid native DAZ IK foundation and adds animation-ready
tools: Look At, Attach, World/Local space, and multi-figure workflows.


What's included
---------------
- Native DAZ Studio plugin (controlrig.dll)
- Content Library scripts: Create / Delete Control Rig
- Pane: Control Rig (Window > Panes)


Core features
-------------
- Yellow Ring Handles — pose hands and feet with viewport controls
- Native DAZ IK — drives real DAZ IK chains under the hood
- Genesis 8 & Genesis 9 — one workflow for both generations
- Mirror Controls — pose one side, the other follows
- Fix Torso — keep pelvis/chest stable while posing limbs
- Reset Pose — restore default pose and snap controls back
- UE / Blender hotkeys — optional W/E or G/R for Translate / Rotate


New in Version 2
----------------
- Look At (Head) — head and neck track a target
- Look At Eyes — eyes track independently or together with the head
- Attach Control — attach a control to another control, bone, or object
(and keep the offset)
- Space: World / Local — switch Universal Tool axes for move and rotate
- Multi-Figure Support — build and use rigs on multiple figures in one scene


Why artists use it

- Faster, cleaner limb posing
- Familiar ring-handle workflow

multi-character scenes
