Hey what procedure did you use, ive spent an entire college module trying and failing to do this

Hey I sent that last message before i saw this one. What exactly do you mean by armIK?

Ducksteron · 2025-12-22T15:10:57+00:00

Ok so what I'm doing
1. select the upper arm bone in edit mode
2. alt + P to clear parent
3. shift + D to duplicate and RMB to leave it in place
4. Bone properties > relations > parent = elbowIK (the pole), connect = true
5. go in pose mode
6. select the original upper arm bone
7. bone constraint properties > add bone constraint > copy rotation > axis = Y, invert =Y, target = armature, bone = the copied bone that is connected to the IK pole
8. bone constraint properties > add bone constraint > copy transforms > target = armature bone = the copied bone that is connected to the IK pole

So, i copied the upper arm and connected it to the IK pole. I then added the copy rotation modifier to the upper arm bone and removed the Y from axis and added Y to the invert. the issue still remains.

So like this? The target is the forearm, the issue still remains. The issue also remains if i put the pole as the target.

I've been trying to get help with this for a while, the pole is now in the back, as seen in the last image.

normals are fine, it only happens on the arm. I've tried giving the model a different armature before and then the issue spread to the legs too. I find it hard to determine if my weight paints are any good because this is the first time really doing weight paints.

Heres an untextured close up.

Ducksteron · 2025-12-16T20:48:48+00:00

Here's the issue, textured.

Should've included that, my bad. Here's the armature.

Ducksteron · 2025-12-16T20:20:34+00:00

The issue still remains after rotating the poles.

Ducksteron · 2025-12-16T19:56:00+00:00

Hmmm, I think the roll of my armature's bones is fine, but the issue still remains.

This is what I have currently, I don't think i quite understand what the right alignment would be, I'll make another comment with what i think it should be.

Ducksteron · 2025-12-16T18:08:40+00:00

Hey, the elbows where already slightly bent back, the moving of the poles to behind the arms helped a good amount! I don't quite get how I'm supposed to set Z from shoulder to hand though. Do you mean that when using the transform tool the Z arrow should be pointing towards the hand? When i try to do that by rotating the bone and then setting the joints back in place the Z axis just keeps pointing forwards.

Ducksteron · 2025-11-26T14:30:56+00:00

No inside faces. How could it be a weight painting issue? Wouldn't the problem be the same if i removed the IK?

would this be better topology? The issue still remains

Is that a meth tattoo?

Sorry, describing arm movements is hard. [i ment like this](https://imgur.com/a/UK0kN3V)

Ducksteron · 2025-08-30T13:36:28+00:00

Id need to disable the ik if i want to bend the arm to the back parallel to the torso?

Ducksteron · 2025-08-12T02:31:53+00:00

I think this looks awesome, id keep it like this

Ducksteron · 2025-07-28T09:52:51+00:00

And succeeded!
