IK Blending

Controls that actively use IK Blend are highlighted in the Viewer and the Character Controls:

IK Blend can be animated by clicking the K in the Character Controls to set keyframes.

Increasing IK Pull reduces the effect of other IK influences when they’re trying to achieve their IK targets. For our purposes, this effect only works with IK Blend T outside of Full Body mode.

Body Mode

Body modes determine what is being keyframed and manipulated. You can visualize them by selecting a control and seeing what highlights. The blue full body mode allows keying on the whole body while only manipulating one body part.
