More Updates: I found the .blend file! My hard drive got wiped out but it was on the backup disk. Scroll down for the link. This was blender 2.45 I think. Some of the keys have changed and I expect they will continue to change. There is also a better way "to use a bone as an IK target (without creating an empty), select the target bone first, then hold down SHIFT and select the bone at the tip of your IK chain. Pressing CTRL+I and choosing "To Selected Bone" from the popup menu sets the tip bone to use the target bone for its IK target. Note that the target bone cannot be a part of the bone chain that will have IK." www.blender.org Thanks, Theo Jansen, for the inspiration and the wonderful kinetic sculptures: strandbeest.com http We are truly standing on the shoulders of giants. Thanks, dwyllie, for modelling the mechanism in Geometer's Sketchpad.
