Question

How do I fix a arm to a body?

Hi guys I am using the Robot template in Ch the one walking constantly to the right..

Now I have made my own arms legs torso etc in photoshop and they are working perfectly fine..

However the new arm I have created isn't staying fixed to the shoulder on the torso.

Its swaying slightly left and right (sliding across) the torso.

I have used the pin tool (fixed handle) where the arm meets the shoulder torso but its still sliding left and right around that area..

How do I make it fixed to the body and allow it to move with the body as opposed to slipping across.

Cheers.

Hi Riffbear,

Sorry for the frustration. I know it well as I had the same issue when I was building my new puppet. Basically, you need to move the Origin to the shoulder area. When the Origin overlaps with the Body group, the two areas become "green." The arm should then be connected properly.

Check out this video at 13:48.

It helped me a lot! Let us know if you got your arms attached and working.

Thanks,
Kevin
