How to Make the HEAD Follow the WORLD SPACE on ANY Rigged Character in MAYA
Sometimes when you are trying to animate a character you found online you might wish you had more functionality, such as the ability to make the head follow the world. This is a handy one so you don't need to counter-animate everything you do with the chest. Characters naturally try to keep their head upright. So in this tutorial, I am going to walk you through copying the rigs controls to make your own controls that can switch between following the body or the world space.
