Reply To: How to make hips control follow torso and reverse, without co-dependency?

I think I follow you.

The Torso control is the master control for the top part of most characters.
The Hips control is just for moving the hips.  

You do not want the hips to affect the Torso.  You want a way to isolate the movement without affecting to whole top portion of the character.
