Maya - Parent selected into target mesh's group (not parent under selected object)
Parenting by target group... I'm just wondering, is there a way to do this already?

[Maya] Double parent glitch
I have an curve controller which is being driven by twocontrained parents, and the parenting is set so the sum of the two parents is 1 (e.g. 0.7 and 0.3 of parenting factor).

Re: Motionbuilder parenting issue
