# IK Motion Layer

> Documentation for IK Motion Layer.

## Description

**IK Motion** is a **unique** Animator Layer. Unlike other features in the framework, this layer can be created outside of the Animator Profile. You can do it by right clicking **Create -> KINEMATION -> FPS Animator Layers -> IK Motion**.

<Tip>
  **Tip**: this layer can be used for transition motions, like a jiggling motion when aiming or leaning in the demo project.
</Tip>

The workflow with this animation feature is this:

1. Add **IK Motion Layer** to the Animator Profile.

2. Create **IK Motion Layers** manually using the right-click method above.

3. Dynamically link desired **IK Motion Layer** using the FPS Animator component.

Dynamic linking can be performed by using **LinkAnimatorLayer** method:

FPSController

```text theme={null}
private FPSAnimator _fpsAnimator;

private void DoSomething()
{
    ...
    // Where `layerSettings` is your IK Motion Layer.
    _fpsAnimator.LinkAnimatorLayer(layerSettings); 
    ... 
}
```
