Hi,

I have a gun prop that I've made into a smart prop, but I also have a gun figure that I want to load into the hand of the character.

I used Miki. She loads with her hands down by her side, and it was hard to move the gun into position. After I did it, I parented the body of the gun figure to her hand, and when I next time loaded her and the gun, it went straight into her hand. Great.

But then I want to position it more carefully, so I loaded Miki, set her to zero with the joint editior, which made her arms strech our horizontally. I also twisted her forearm to make her palm face forward (less gimbal lock when moving the gun). It was now much easier to move the gun into position, and I parented it to her hand.

However, when I next time loaded Miki and the gun, the gun went straight for the position of the zeroed hand in the horizontal position, instead of into her hand down by the side.

What am I doing wrong?

Do I have to use "lock actor"?

Do I have to create a pose file for the gun figure?

Thanks!

Helmer
