Help with constraints and IK in max 2010
-3DS max 2010-
Blue = Z axis
Green = Y axis
Red = x axis
This is my first post and also first time rigging in max and I am looking for some help with this mechanical arm mostly dealing with constraints and IK. it is a 7 function arm
1)To start off I would want to constrain the bottom blue cyclender to be locked so that it can only rotating in the Z axis.
2) as for the rest I would like it to follow the IK path of the hand(Last white Box)
3)I can get this to work so what by setting it up as bones but still running into issues
