Very simple problem, I have a sword that I parent to a sheath parented to the hip of a character, I need to draw the sword and parent it to the right hand, then after a fighting session parent it to another characters chest (you get the idea).

There are lots of other things going on in this scene, so I don't want to create separate files for each bit of that, but whenever I re-parent any object it seems to affect all frames instead of current and future frames.

Is there any way past this?

thanks
