Root Bone moves when Child Bone is Manipulated

Post by michaelramstead »

Hey I'm running into a weird issue where the root bone is moving when the child bone is manipulated to it's constraint.
Basically, when the child bone connected directly to the root bone hits its constraint, instead of stopping it continues to rotate, and the root bone follows it. I checked and the parenting looks right and all other bones are behaving.

Here are a few images of the problem:

Here is the vector and the rig.

Bone connected to Root bone, after hitting constraint, keeps rotating.

Hope you can help! Thanks!

Set the root bone to be "Ignored by inverse kinematics".
