file_144673.jpg

Well I was trying to attach the ax to the right hand like I have done a hundred times .. Somehow I got the entire extra figure attached. There is two half hidden figures in the file and that is okay since it is a simple pose and I can't splice em together but this is what happened anyway ... How can I get rid of the parent and stuff without going to some CR2 editor and stuff .... I am on a Mac also .. Thanks

hahaha lol haa haha ha ha lol. Could be worse he could have his foot parented up his butt lol. can you conform the pants? If that is not an option try going to parent object and check universe for the pants. Then try parenting the pants to the hip maybe if they are a prop?

Nope .. they are built for a different figure and that is the figure ... the pants are part of a hidden figure .. Unfortunately they can't conform or loose the parent that I can see .. Having to reload the sucker but he is kind of a slow load so that is why I was avoiding that

you cant parent a figure to a figure? Hmm the curly hair is a figure and it parents. I also know that wings can parent to a figure and they are a figure too. Are you sure you are doing it right?

Just can't un parent him .. I ended up deleting it and starting over. Just wasted time ..The figure's are a litle different so the conform doesn't work .. Like conforming a dog and a shirt .. no go really

Didn't have to delete. Just select the object that you want to unparent, and choose the "figure parent" button, just as if you were about to choose a parent. The hierarchy window will open as usual. Instead, choose nothing at all, and close the hierarchy window. The process cancels any previous parenting, and your parented object is now unparented. Orphaned...

Abortion? Seriously (IIRC) 1) Take the item that screwed things up and Parent it to the Universe (or to nothing; same end result, IIRC). 2) Take the invisible figure and restore it's parenting to what it originally was (you may have to re-position it first). 3) Re-parent the ax to the CORRECT figure's hand (I THINK you parented it to the hidden figure - I've done that myself with similar results, but I usually wound up screwing something ELSE and had to start over...).
