pick walking set up simpler

use shape parenting to make your control curves pickwalkable
it's a mel command: parent
that uses these flags: -relative -shape
and these arguements: name of shape node to transplant, and name of joint you want to transplant onto

make sure you get the top node, not just the translate node (below the shape node)

parent -relative -shape nurbsCircleShape2 joint2;

(nurbsCircleShape2 is our control curve top node)

so now when you select the nurb circle you select the actual joint so you can pick walk,but the curves are put in the wrong spot, if you scale the curve you'll actually be scaling the joint, so you need to do it from component mode and move the verts

viola pretty simple
