Support Basics & Interface

basically I want to pick up an object and move it

as in picking up a ball with a hand

I’ve read some information on layer visibilty, and layer keys

but I can’t seem to get it working :-?

anyone?

thanks

I recently learned of parenting constraints, which seems like what you need for picking up a ball. parent the ball to the person, add a constraint, and then you can keyframe the influence of the parent.
Oh, and if you want to keyframe what layer your ball is on, you can do that by setting a keyframe on the frame before it moves layers, go ahead 1 frame, move to layer 2 ( or whichever ) and set another keyframe. ( for layer )
