hi there, I have been wondering for quite some time, how to rig shoulder armor, like the ones knights and armored soldiers have. does any1 know anything about this subject?
If so explain me please. I am using 3dsmax8.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I'm a Maya user but this would be the same on any package. The simplist way is to have a bone the is parented to the clavicle bone and then have the armour bone be independent from the shoulder. That way it moves with the clavicle but not the shoulder. Make a controller for the bone. May try playing around where to put the pivot of the control. Probably at the clavicle bone.
