(I myself have used some not so good workarounds long enough now..=)   This is just a simple example what I want to easily do..... At frame 20 Character picks up Object A, and carry it with him until frame 40, then he throws it away and in frame 60 he picks up Object B, lifts it up and in frame 80 he puts it up on a table..and walks away.. and so on..   There were some scripts for V4.5 .. that Frank made... but those cant be used in V5...=( (Script  Constraint Thingy isnt backwards compatible...)   Lattice Mapping, in combo with keyframing the objects, would maybe work, if objects could have their Translation to be animated in World space and not Object space (which is just in a relative way) Is it at all possible to animate in World Space? =)   Any hints or workflows would be much appreciated..!   Thx in advance..   Take Care Best Regards Stefan Gustafsson ( Beg-inner ) A Proud Owner and User of Real3D and Realsoft3D.. On simple way would be to animate the constraint of the object, but in Realsoft it may be difficult. The good old method is to create 2 copy of the object to pick up : one that is in the hand of the character and the other on the table. Then animate the existence of the 2 object (with render checkbox or by scaling it to 0). Jean-Sebastien Perron www.neuroworld.ws
