Ok, I'm a little stumped! I want to make an animation of two characters playing "catch", but it seems complicated. I'm not proficient with animation yet, so bear with me. How can I keep the ball in the character's hand while he "winds up" to pitch it to the other person without having to move it frame by frame along with the hand itself? Same thing after the other person catches the ball... how to then keep the ball in his hand after the catch? Maybe there's something easy I'm missing. I tried to enable Inverse Kinmatics, but it doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing it wrong. I know there must be an easy way, but what is it? Using Poser 6, by the way.
