* In Torso Rigging Toolkits, we discuss the various types of controls that are needed to create the body parts, and go into depth on what they each are. This is a standard technique that I like to use when rigging, it allows me to explore ideas and practice before committing to a final rig.

Hello Jason,
I have problem with one of you scripts, create ik stretch. When I mirror skeleton on right side and try to make my leg stretch with ikRPsolver on scale it doesn’t work!!! With transition it work but not with scale.
Can you help me?
Thanks!!!
Hi! Thanks for getting the material!
The stretch is supposed to work with translations.. Bad things tend to happen when scaling with joints, thus all the stretching should be done with translates.
Hi Jason,
I have find pdf document where you write about fix on script like ikstretch butt I cannot find anywhere, could you tell me where I can find?
Thank you!!
MEL] js_createIkStretch.mel Updateconstraint There is an update to js_createIkStretch that allows for the script to work when there is a negative value in the translate axis of the joint. This can occur when you mirror a joint (like for left and right). Please download the latest version here (along with the latest version of js_getStretchAxis.mel
From where I can download this?:-)
