I am not sure whether or not there is a tutorial out there that can help me, but after some time searching online, I decided to ask for help from the forums.
Basically, my bones do not act like I expect them to do.
That is one case. In that instance, I wanted to scale down one of the bones and bring the child bones in a certain position. While that does happen, in between it does that unnecessary stretching before reaching it's final position.
In another instance, I had IK locked a bone and tried to do an animation. Instead of staying relatively still, the bone got displaced considerably, only to do a loop and end up in the original position it had at the beginning of the animation.
It happens all the time. Am I missing something? I tried looking up of any answers, but I didn't come up with much. Thank you for your time.
