#9 Constraint Solver - IK Retargeting with TTToolbox 4 Beginners | Unreal Engine 5.1 Manny ALS
If you don't use the constraints solver, you might see some very off ik bone locations. Consequently ik systems in ALS will not work. So hand ik and feet ik is broken and your character will act very weird. A solution would be to export the animations and animate them in external tools like Blender, Maya ... But that is not what we want right? So lets configure a solver in TTToolbox that will constraint our bones during retargeting.
Keep in mind the ik_hand_gun bone will be constraint as well. Thanks to the layer blending system of ALS with it's overlay states we only need to correct a few key frames for each pose. We will cover this topic later in a future video.

Here is the list of constraints I used in the video.
((ConstraintBone="root",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_root"),(ConstraintBone="foot_l",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_l"),(ConstraintBone="foot_r",ModifiedBone="ik_foot_r"),(ConstraintBone="root",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_root"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_r"),(ConstraintBone="hand_l",ModifiedBone="ik_hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_l",ModifiedBone="VB ik_foot_l_Offset"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_r",ModifiedBone="VB ik_foot_r_Offset"),(ConstraintBone="ik_hand_gun",ModifiedBone="VB RHS_ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="ik_hand_gun",ModifiedBone="VB LHS_ik_hand_gun"),(ConstraintBone="Hand_L",ModifiedBone="VB RHS_ik_hand_l"),(ConstraintBone="hand_r",ModifiedBone="VB LHS_ik_hand_r"),(ConstraintBone="calf_l",ModifiedBone="VB ik_knee_target_l"),(ConstraintBone="calf_r",ModifiedBone="VB ik_knee_target_r"),(ConstraintBone="root",ModifiedBone="VB Curves"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_l",ModifiedBone="VB foot_target_l"),(ConstraintBone="ik_foot_r",ModifiedBone="VB foot_target_r"))
