Created a horse. Legs are separated from horse torso. Legs are puppeted fine, but want to “pick whip” or something to attach legs to torso, so that when I animate or move horse, the torso moves in conjunction with legs. How to attach legs to horse torso so that when I move legs and torso, they move together as one. Null layers, or is there something simpler? THANKS!!

You simply parent the torso and legs to a Null, yes. Unless you use a script like DUIK or similar there's no real good way, anyway, as you would need to create all the expressions manually and account for coordinate conversions and all that.

    Yes... understood... and thank you. I used the old way, nulls and added expressions I learned from ED Films, but I recently downloaded DUIK, and I feel a bit overwhelmed. I'll try and find a simple tut that explains that connection. Appreciate your help!!
