Parent hand to arm to torso?

Getting Started Newbie Questions

Hi there,

I’m making a sort of puppet with limbs - with each part of the body being a different image.

Is there a way to parent the hand to the arm, and the arm to the torse, so that when the torso moves the arm moves with it, and the hand move with the arm when the arm rotates. Specifically, I mean is there another way besides creating a lot of displayGroups?

Thanks,

hi thomas, yes you might want to see a couple of articles here on forum about how to make a ragdoll, i think this is exactly what you want to make. [import]uid: 80100 topic_id: 24872 reply_id: 100901[/import]

Hi Nosheet,

Thanks for your reply! I should however mention that I am not using physics, so these ragdoll examples are out of my scope, alas.

Any other options, besides physics joints and displayGroups?

thx,
