Pinning?

bstanle

I am having trouble pinning a figure in a particular position to another object.

For example:  If a figure is riding a bike.  I want to pin the hands to the handlebars (and not necessarily at the end).  This way I can make an animation of the figure riding a bike.  I don't want to reposition the hands when I move the legs, head or torso.  Also, If I turn the handlebars, the hands and arms should follow the movement of the handlebars.

Is this possible and if so, what would I have to do?

If this is Daz Studio then there isn't a built-in way to handle it - there are no parentable IK targets. If you check the posts by casual in the Freebies forum (and my stickied List of free scripts and plug-ins) there are some scripts you can run to help with this kind of thing.

This mini-thread from a couple of days ago might also have some answers (or at least directions.)

great help, that one!

 

I guess one problem for newbies like me is the sheer amount of functions and possibilities DAZ offers and to find the "easy" solutions to do stuff... thanks for that link
