<<Constrain lifting a object- plz help>>

[citizenvin]

Hi friends, I just need to clear this doubt in constrain. In the character animation setup I just need to lift a object[ball].

1. I created a new locator and connected with ball as parent. whenever i move the locator, ball follows.

2. with the hand control and connected the constrain parent with locator. so that when i move the hand control the object follows.

Here i need to take the object at 10th frame. but when i start moving my hand control at frame 5 itself object[ball] is following hand control. I do no how to clear this.

I need to lift the object, taking the ball from one place and then i need to keep it some where.


can you plz help in doing this. i searched many tuto and forum question for this. But i am not getting clear idea. Any video tuto available for this.

will be much helpful..

A simple solution I tried before is to use 2 ball- and animate their visibility.
just keep an unseen ball where you want it to stay, can be out of the hand parent,and switch visibility between the 2 ball.

I don't want to use this. any other option??

use locators and then animate

When you constrain any object in its attribute editor you get a option of that constrain!
In it as the last option when the amount is 1 it is on!
when the amount is 0 it is off!
key frame as per it!
& you will get what you want!
