Hey,
Im currently rigging a mobile suit model that I created, I started with the arms and have run into a few issues (I use 3DS Max 2009). As shown in the images below (hosted on ImageShack), I want the shoulder armor to rotate with the arm on the Y axis, but not on the X axis. I also want the upper arm top bone to just rotate on the X axis, and not bend on the Y axis. Im using a HI IK solver on this arm, starting at the upper arm top bone, and ending at the wrist. I dont know a whole lot about rigging outside of some of the basic IK's. If this can be solved with some sort of Constraint, any tips on how to go about setting that up would be great.
