Hi,,

I start getting mad, it seems very simple to apply but it doesn’t work for me,,,,

when I make a parent/child constraint on elements within Motion Builder it works well, but when I wanna aplly it on models with animation from Maya, it doesn’t work,,,,,, please HELP i don’t get it.

THANX

Hi Hamzannaba,

If the objects you are adding to the parent/child constraint already have animation from Maya- you should use ‘Snap’ option when activating the constraint in MotionBuilder- this will keep the offset from the animation when applying the constraint. ‘Zero’ option in Constraint settings will Zero the transforms for the child object so it will pop to the position of the parent object.

To add the objects that you want to use as Parent/Child in the constraints- select and alt+drag the objects from the Viewer window or schematic view to the Constrained object (Child) and Source (parent) fields in the Constraint Settings.

Hi Lee and thankx for your reply,

I’ve been waiting so long for someone to help,,,,

and believe it or not,,, before even I try your solution,, I already figured it, and still no results,,,, and from what I know to check on the option ‘Snap’ works for non-animated objects and also animated objects.

I can use Maya’s constraints, but i loved the way importing constraints in the ‘Story’ window, it’s more easier.
