FBIK or HIK

With Maya 2011, you will see there is a new retargetting system called HumanIK (or HIK) .  This is a great system and I would certainly recommend using it, but for those of with a pipeline using FBIK you will notice the tools that were under Skeleton -> Retargetting seem to be gone....

no fear, although the UI does not show the tools they are still accessible through MEL.  You need to copy and paste these commands in the Script Editor windows and type in the commands italics

Skeleton -> Retargetting -> Set Target Neutral Pose is   setRetargetRestPose;

Skeleton -> Retargetting -> Go to Neutral Pose is    assumeRetargetRestPose;

Skeleton ->Retargetting -> Retarget Skeleton (option box) is RetargetCharacterOptions;

but I can suggest how to make a HIK FK, no matter what I did not put the weight of REACH, all the same movement is interpolated as IK
