Anchoring Feet

desperado

I've been trying to pose a figure as either kneeling, crouching or in some other pose that has the legs bent, but I've been unable to keep the feet in place while posing the rest of the body as I want using IK. I tried locking the fett in the X,Y or Z positions in the Parameters pane, but that didn't work.  I'm sure that I'm overlooking something pbvious. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.e

I have a lot of trouble with this as well. Other than adjusting the thight, shin, foot and Y axix of the model repeatedly until you get it inot position, you can try pinning the foot or toes (when you select a body part, you should see a "pushpin" icon near the manipulators over the area. Click the pushpin to "sort of" stick the item in place. (I say sort of because it will still slip out of place as well as twist and bend adjasent nodes oddly if you try to go too far.)
