Hi,

Software 3d Studio Max 9.

I am looking into rigging a 3d model character with hands but I am puzzled into how you get a character to pick up an object say a cup then put it back again.

Any info would be very helpful.

Thanks

I´m Max8 user, but I think it should be quite similar in max9. Select your hand, go to Animation>constrain>Link constrain and select the cup, so you´ll get your hand linked to the cup. When you wish to release it (or before you hold it), in lateral menu, slide from 100 to 0, so the hand will remain linked to the world only. Hope it helps.
