Hullo! I'm having a play with animations in Blender - also using Avastar if that has any bearing. The description on the Blender website of how to apply IK to a bone structure doesn't actually... do anything. No popup menu from pressing ctrl-I. Now wondering if it's a version/terminology issue - should I instead be looking at object constraints? Literally only just found the second page so I haven't looked into it yet (and won't get chance now for a couple of hours) but I'm wondering if that's the direction I should be looking - if not, what am I missing in adding IK to my skeleton?!

I had no idea the hand morphs could be set via script - thank you! Isn't it lovely when the answer turns out to be so much simpler than you hoped..!

I don't fully understand the cycling in-built hand animations, so what I'm asking may not make sense - sorry about that! But if it does, could you help me get my head round this... I want to replace the hands on a mesh. These new hands shouldn't bend or flex at any point beyond the wrist, so I think I would include a mini-AO with the avatar that locks the hands against any default or other AO anims that might change the finger position (e.g. switch from spread to fist). I'm not interested in making any more of an AO for it - this is just to lock the hands. ...I just can't picture it. Would it be a 2x frame looped anim with nothing keyframed, but on upload I'd select the 'spread' hand position? Does that sound like it'd work? Thanks for your help!

EDIT #1: sorry, Marketplace help took me here so I assumed it was Marketplace specific. So it's in the wrong category... thought it meant marketplace inventory >.< I'm having a look at my inventory for the first time since the switch from SLEX. I have a number of 'Item Unavailable's which I can't explain or fix. They're in the magic box, all the fields seem to be filled correctly, other versions and colours of the same product are listed successfully... There's no indication as to what's wrong with them and how I get them listed again, so where do I go to find out what the issue is? Many thanks. EDIT #2: Can't find an option to respond, only accept as solution >.< Thanks - support link is good! Doesn't explain though, I don't know how more appropriate their categories could be, and the same products in different colours are often perfectly fine. I also added 6 new models to the box and began creating new descriptions - then three of them that I hadn't touched yet became unavailable *sigh*
