In my system if one of the hip points are too far away from the ankle I move
the hips closer.

Resistance sounds like a good idea. I'll have to look into that.

What I'm thinking about doing is simply to move the hip closer to the ankle
so the distance is, say 95% of the length of the leg. (The actual percentage
would be a variable controlled by the user.) Is that what you're doing too
or is your method more sophisticated? I didn't quite understand your
explanation.

BTW, I'm working on my own IK system in these days, so I might post
something in a few days. :)
