WHAT ARE PROXY ATTRIBUTES AND HOW DO I USE THEM?

Adding custom attributes to our rigs may be a fundamental part of the rigging process, but it’s also an extremely useful one, and can give the animator an extra level of control as they bring their creations to life.
The most basic attribute is one which will blend the character’s limbs between the IK (inverse kinematics) and FK (forward kinematic) controls, so they can plant the hands, or make walk and run cycles easier by fixing the feet in place.
