Character rig with full-body IK setup?

Hi all,

We are trying to get the effect of the Auto Full-Body IK rig in newer versions of Maya.

Has anyone attempted to build a character rig with full-body IK?

i.e. pulling a finger far enough and it will drag the entire body with it.

Any hints, tips, discussions, or examples on how to setup this up will be much appreciated.

Maybe you can setup the something like this: Parent a shoulders control to the arm ik control through a blend object. In the blend object, use an expression for the weight, that "activates" the parenting (setting it to 1) only when

the arm control is at a distance bigger then the length of the arm's bones, and when less, it disables the parenting. Pretty much like how you will set a stretchy IK arm.
