I have a makehuman armature that i want to ride on a railroad hand cart which has its own armature. Is it possible to link the nakehuman arm to the hand cart arm so that the action of the hand cart drives the makehuman armature? I have attached a image of the setup.
Yes. You’ll need to add 5 bones to the hand cart rig. One for the location of the main pivot of the character, and two each for the hands and feet.
Then in your character use copy location constraints on the pivot, ik hands and ik feet to lock him in position. You’ll also probably want to set drivers on the copy location constraints so you can easily shut them off.
Thanks, great idea. I’ll give it a try.
Oh, if you set the copy locations to offset then a zeroed out pose will snap into place, but you’ll still be able to move his butt or hands/feet around.
