group placement - foot ctrl setup 2

Joints can now be translated from the heel RIG, and move about quite nicely, so time to create a couple of extra pivot points for the toe-tap, toe-rotate and ball-rotate, which will be articulated through the expression editor, set driven key menu and the connection editor (essentially three different ways of of establishing relationships between nodes).

The book instructs you group the toe_IK to itself, creating a "null node" - a node that exists above the toeIK handle with a different pivot point.



When the null node is rotated in the X the foot rotates correctly from the ball joint.
