Rigging a pop up-book (Maya)
polycounter lvl 9
Hello!
First off, I'm not a technical artist but I do have some rigging experience in Maya. With that said, I'm trying to make a rig to simulate a pop up-book.
Following a C4D tutorial (http://vimeo.com/40505685), I've done my best to convert the instructions for Maya.
I'm not sure how to properly explain my problem, so here are some explanatory pictures. I think they will do a better job at explaining.
I managed to get the IK between the left and right side to work, so that the top joint is constrained between them. But I also need to anchor it to the bottom middle joint, because now it floats away.
I hope this is the right part of the forum for there "help a noob"-type of questions! If not, I'm very sorry!
