Rig a weapon with an attached pipe
polycounter lvl 3
Hi, I am studying the basics of animation and I need help with rigging in Maya.
I have to rig a character with a weapon which is attached to his backpack through a flexible metal pipe.
I need this pipe anchored to the backpack but able to follow the hilt of the weapon when the character moves it or attacks. In addition, the pipe should react to gravity hanging between the weapon and the backpack, both when it is at rest and while attacking.
How should I do?
