Hi,
I’m animating this character rig to pick up this barbell weight with his hands. Obviously the rig is a separate object to the character. I want to attach the characters hands to the rig so wherever the hands go the bar goes, is there a way to do this in Maya? parenting?
thanks,
joe.
Parenting is as easy as clicking the child then parent and hit “p” OR an easier way is set up a locator and do the same thing…good luck, hope it helps
By my opinion the best way is to switch hands on IK, put them in right position, make parent constrains between hands and barbell. In that case hands will follow barbell.
You can also parent the weight to a null then constrain that to your hands. Good luck!
