Hi,

I've got 2 animated objects (a and b) that I need to attach another object to (c).
The object (c) needs to follow along and pivot from (b), while also animating up and down with the (a). I got it working with static objects, but as soon as I add the forward animation...everything falls apart. I've tried different constraints, but can't seem to get it working.

Any pointers would be GREATLY appreciated.

Simplified file attached for reference. Also, video of a hand animated example (what I would like to achieve with RBD sim).

Thanks!

Ha! Too funny. I was exploring this option the last few days (didn't know anything about KineFX).
Thanks for this. I'll give it a look.
