HIK

how to remove retargeting once you have retargeted on an HIK character? Does deleting animation layers do the trick? Seems to still leave extra nodes..

If you retarget the HIK in the main rig file, why does it sometimes lock the controls?

My answer so far--is that in the referenced HIK file that's retargeted, you have to have the animation layer selected. Then it is keyable in the file it's referenced into. Otherwise it is not keyable. But, why??? And why is there no information about this? Maya, why do you hate me?

But it's probably better to retarget in the individual scene, instead of in the main rig file, until proven otherwise..

How to constrain a HIK effector to some object in your scene?

Go to Preferences and turn Animation blending on (set to 'never blend' by default..)
