Hi all

Bear with me on this, funnily enough i am sort of new to maya.
My question is, can you animate a point constraint? What i want to happen in my little animatic is for my char to grab an object, and pick it up, so I was thinking of using a point constraint to do that, but im not sure if/how you can make the constraint kick in at a certain point. DO i need an expression for this? or am i overlooking another way of doing this?

Thanks for your time, and my praise for these forums, they have hepled me heaps!

cheers

You can just animate it on and off by changing the target constraint value from 1 to 0. Just select the position and rotation constraint you added to find the controls.
