Weird controller issue

[Anonymous]

Was trying make weird centipede rig and have this problem where when i move the shoulder with rotation the other controllers warp. Any ideas???

Could you post a screenshot of your outliner?

Sure, here it is.

Is it bc there isn't a main controller to group them all? There are quite a bit of joints and controllers.

Check for shear values.  Sometimes this has happened to me.  And there would be shear values other than zero.

I am not completely certain it is the root of this problem, but I would suggest using offset groups for your controls so curves are not directly moving curves.

This tutorial goes over making offset groups for your controls at the 5:19 mark.

Oh my you were right I had a hidden value somewhere that was messing everything. Thanks for the help.
