Hi everybody!
I want someone to help me with animation. I have got a character that has to walk through a street,with a suitcase in his hand. Then he has to leave it. My problem is that I don’t know how to do this. I did the footsteps animation and it worked very well. But now, I have to animate the character with a suitcase.
Can you help me?

Thanks ;)

Jasminn

Try a Link Constraint from the suitcase to the hand, starting at the point where it is picked up until it is put down. At that point (and at the beginning of the animation, link the suitcase to the world. In between it will follow the hand like a normal “select and link” would do.
