I need to know how to make an IK rig. I've watched a bunch of tutorials and stuff, but, everything i try to do breaks the mesh. So if you can help me with this I'd appreciate it. I'd also really appreciate it if someone would rerig it I'd also appreciate that. Link here:

Thank you!

    $\begingroup$ Hello and welcome. This site is not a regular forum, we are a question and answer site aimed at providing users with localized assistance along the way, rather than solve the whole issue for them by presenting ready-made solutions. For commissioning work, job posts or hiring someone, there is a Jobs section over at Blender Artists Forum. Otherwise, could rephrase your post to read more like a direct inquiry showing efforts towards your goal, rather than ask for someone to do it for you, so it can be reopened? $\endgroup$

In Edit mode you need to bend a bit the elbow backwards (1), create a pole target bone behind the elbow (2) that you parent to the root bone (so you'll need to create a root bone at the bottom of the armature that will be the master bone), this pole target will orientate the elbow, create a controller bone (3) that you parent to the root bone, parent the hand to the controller bone (4):

Give an IK constraint to the forearm, select the controller and pole target, set the Pole Angle so that the arm is correctly rotated, set the Chain Length:

Result:

  • $\begingroup$ I'm using the lower torso bone as the root bone. Will that work? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ it's better to create a brand new bone, put it at the feet level, parent all the controller bones / pole target bones / lower torso bone to this root bone $\endgroup$
