@ TheDuckee: there's the easy way, or the right way. Which do you prefer? One will actually teach you how to rig an item for a figure. The other will take all the pain away but you'll never learn all the fine detail on how this works.

First: how to rig... this is taught by the master-rigger himself: Phantom3D.

Or, you can cheat... and it's okay to cheat. This is a really awesome solution.

I'd go with the second one first (not expensive, and gets you awesome results). And, when you decide you want total control and want to really larn the thing, get the skinny from Phantom3D.

Also, BB made an incredibly important point: Google is your friend. You'll actually find posts on HERE that the Rendo search engine can't provide. (Note to Rendo search developers... overhaul time, guys. Hey, you can always invoke the google search mechanism within the site, ya know... works a treat!)
