But now we have the hinge option which does the same.

For that you will need to add a Copy Rotation Constraint.īefore Blender 2.40, the above method was a good way of faking parent relationship without rotation. Of course when the hand rotates the glass will not. Add a copy location to the empty pointing to the bone in the hand we just did. On the side of the glass just add an empty and make it parent of the glass. Thus moving the hand will move the glass. You add another child-bone in the middle of the hand to tell where the glass will be. By having a bone or empty for each side of the relationship (hand glass), as the hand approaches the glass, you can align the two empties and fire the constraint up (1.00) to stick them together. By playing with the Influence you can tell when it will work, when it will remain motionless.Ī good use of it is to ask a character to pick up something. Most of the time this little constraint is useful to stick objects to one another. The Target field will let you select which Object the constraint holder will follow.You can tell Blender to work only on the selected axis. Don't forget TABKEY completion while writing the name of your object/bone! If it's an armature, a new field will appear to let you tell which bone will be the target. Less Influence will drag the constrained object less and less to the target. One huge change in this new series is the fact that Blender will use the Vulkan next generation graphics and compute API by default for better graphics performance with lower power consumption. The Copy Location constraint does as the name states: it will copy the location of the target to the source (constrained object). Blender 3.0 is a massive update that introduces numerous new features and dozens of enhancements to the 3D modeling software.
