Check out the main Channel https://youtube.com/@RancorousGames where I cover general game development and the progress of my game 'Wartribes'

In this video I explain what IK bones are and how they are and have historically been used. I explain how they are in some ways outdated but still commonly seen. This is the third video in my series on the Bones of Unreal where I aim to provide a comprehensive understanding the complex skeletal system in unreal engine 5.

QUESTION? Don't hesitate to ask below and I will do my best to help you!
