Hi...

I'm so stress, because I can't do to joint and to move my robotic hands with joints...

Later I go to need to liven up it together.

Is there another alternative to do it better.

Thanks

You need to bind the mesh to the joints using Skin > Bind Skin > Smooth Bind. You can find more details on how to work with that in the Character Setup section of the Maya help files.

Also, I'm curious to know why you have so many IK handles setup on the fingers. Seems like it would be a pain to animate.

for fingers I would use SDK, takes time to set up, but saves time to animate

Ohhh

Thanks.
I did this that you saw.

Now, How Can I to move the joint from front? I was trying to move the joint from front, but it only to move from the side.

I'm using IK Handle tool, it's great, but I do konw how do this funcion correctly.

I know that is one dull question, but what is SDK?
