Description:: This class represents the TM controller for IK Chains and is used for nodes that serve as IK joints. This class is closely knit together with the Class IIKChainControl and form the IK system. An interface pointer to the IKControl class can be obtained by using Animatable::GetInterface(I_IKCONTROL). See the Inverse Kinematics section for more detailed information.
