Maya joints - the body doesn't move

#1

Hi guys… I am a newbie in Maya but I am following few tutorials in order to create a simple character. Now I have to face with a new problem and I hope you will help me :rolleyes: The problem is that I just created the backbone of my body using joints. I oriented them. Then I attached each one of them to the body. The problem is that I don’t manage to move the body to the sides but only foward and backwards. I did a video and posted it on youtube in order to show you what I mean. Sorry for my bad English :blush: Here it is the link of the video:

If you want to see the orientation of my joints I did another video in order to show you them. Here it is the link:

Thank you for your help :thumbsup:

I looks like something to do with the spline ik and not the joints. How did you create that curve?
Post your scene so we can have a look.
