Hi Byron,
I usually just build a separate tail rigs and then have deformation bones
that are constrained to either IK, FK, or the Sim tail. For me it has been the
cleanest way to get the functionality I need.

Subject: Tail control
I'm new to the tails setup and am having my first go at making a tail for a
character. Are there any direct controls other than the base of the tail when
using the default setup? There are going to be some times when I'll need IK or
FK control over the tail behavior at more points than rotating the base. Am I
missing something or do I just need to make two rigs or one custom one?
