if you select the main controller (the one that moves all the geometry and all the controllers - the round big one on the ground), scroll down in the parameters (channels?) box, and you'll see the arms and legs IK blend there.

I am very much liking the improvements to the rig! It's really cool to be able to tweak the body more than before

Thanks!

hey, for the past year I've been using the eleven rig for my school, it is definitely the best free rig available at this point and it's a great fun to work with (I like the flexibility of its design, how you can change the model).

I've encountered a somewhat weird problem, where I'm probably the cause of it but I don't know how to fix it.

the arms fk controllers disappeared. they still appear in the outliner but their visibility status is "off".
when selecting the main controller and changing "Arm_ik_blend" to either 1 or 0, whichever the value it shows only the ik controllers. here's an image showing the mentioned properties and problem. anyone has an idea how do I get the fk controllers back? thanks.

the visibility is indeed still connected. both the controllers' and the group's visibility.
I cant figure out to what. tried looking in the connection editor and the hypergraph, but I get lost there ^^"

These controls visibility should be controlled by the ik/fk blend... But you said you already tried that. Have you now, after breaking the connections, some control over the visibility of the controllers? If so, reconnect them to the ik/fk blend, and you should be good to go Otherwise, I'll have to open up maya and see how this can happen

using the connection editor I set the ik_blend output value (in the main controller) as the visibility attribute input for the "r_shoulder_FK_control", "group 7" (under which the shoulder_fk is located), "r_shoulder_dyn_grp" and even "r_shoulder_constrain_grp" (which was already visible anyway).

none of which made the fk controllers visible.

is it possible that I've simply set one of the many parameters of the rig wrong by accident? like setting some of the chest controls to ik or something like that? or the only parameter able to control the visibility of the arms_fk is the ik_blend under the main controller?

Yes, basically. But this is, for some reason I don't quite see at the moment, controlled through a longish chain of dependencies. What bothers me, is that there is no group or setting that controls the visibility of both arms fk controls, so I'm guessing that, if you didn't accidentally picked both fk controls, did two or three steps up in the pickwalk and then hit ctrl+h, something else must have gone wrong there.
These items should be set to visible (without being connected):
r_shoulder_dyn_grp
r_shoulder_dyn
r_shoulder_constrain_grp
as well as left, too. Can you confirm that?

So, if you now take the group6 visibility, break the connection and set it to visible, can you see the controllers?

Ah, right, so you maybe scaled one of the groups by accident? And that might be the reason for them to be not visible, because they're hidden someplace else? I recommend doing the following:
- Go back to the scene before you stated trying things out
- break the connection of the group 6 and 7 visibility ONLY! nothing else
- unhide these groups and see if the controllers are there, and at the right position
   - if so, connect the ik/fk blend attribute via driven key directly to the groups visibility
   - if not, reference the a second instance of the rig and compare where you accidentally scaled/misplaced something, and set it back to what the original file says it was

If everything fails, get the dkanim script for copying animation, and use that to copy the animation to a newly referenced character in your scene (thats what I'm doing when something like this happens, takes the least amount of time )

you're very welcome! I really hope i could help a bit

Haha, yea, I guess that something everybody does... ONCE
If you reference the character, you wouldn't be able to delete those driven keys, btw

its the later, and let me see if I can find a tut or something somewhere, but its practically the same as importing, just see that you set the namespaces correctly.
