Hi all, I need help please with one normal animation.

I have a side desk and a side actor, on the desk there is a cup, so in the z-axis from back to front I have the actor, then the desk and then the cup. So I want that the actor grabs the cup but the actors arm and hand always shows behind everything and cannot reach the cup, so my question is, is there a tutorial or someone knows and idea of how I can get the arm and hand like to be in front of desk and grab the cup?

Thank you so much everyone.

To a better understanding, this is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwb6uLsbb7w&feature=youtu.be and in the 0:20sec I will like to do that but arm and hands shows behind.

Do the anmation for the actor first.
Then duplicate the character.  One character with all the body parts except the part reaching for the cup.
While the other character with only the body part (supposed to be in front of the desk).

wow thanks so much, it really helpfull, although I am new in this.
Two small questions please, did you use left-hand with arm part as a prop? and how did you attach that arm to the shoulder bone in the composer?

Thank you so much

I am very thankful for your help, I downloaded the project, that's what I wanted, even I copied your theme the black one is just Awesome, but if you can really help me with a video will be also excellent due the fact that I don't know how can you create that bone character of the arm and hand, like do you do it first in photoshop, because I was trying to put 2 characters and 1 of them just erase all of the sprites except that arm part but I could attach it.

Thank you so much.

This video is my testing, hope this video can help you to solve your issues.
I upload it to youtube, but this video too long.
I separate this video and provide it to you as a reference.
Thank you.

Wow thanks so much, I think there is a problem with youtube or the video, it doesn't load me the video. Do you have a youtube channel that I can follow?

Sorry, I have updated and separate the video.

Thanks you so much, I wouldn't have done it if it wasnt for that video, the part of photoshop and the attachment now is so clear, Thanks a lot
