Does anyone have a nice solution for local and world hand switching?
I want a blending between a local hand goal that is parented to the hips and a world hand where the hand is a direct child of the world.
I´ve tried the Dynamic Parent expression, but it seems to be useless for that because of its limitations (no parent in place and parented objects can´t be moved in its local space after parenting).
I´m curious if the Relativeto Expression that has been used in the Monte01 Rig could be used in a way that the local and world switch happens without the positional offset.

We need better dynamic parenting @pmG, please :)

Can't help myself - I second that for better Dynamic Parenting - We need 'Dynamic Parent In Place'!

here is some pseudo-code to get you thinking (no guarantees)
ik2d(hand,hiphandnull)
Keyfrader(hand,arm,shoulder)
IK2d(hand,globalHandNull)

Thanks Joe :) Your hint was well.
A second goal is needed *click* that´s hardparented to the hips in combination with the MW_Dynamic_MoveTo and MW_Dynamic_Align expressions seems to work.
