Hi all,
I'm working on crane-signaling and need the hand to circle smoothly above the head of the character.
I was trying out path, but there seems to be no possibilitiy to let the hand (or any bones) follow a path to drive the animation in a IK-ish way.
Do any of you have ideas how I could solve this? I have tried keying it in a normal fashion but the rotation appears too mechanical.https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/744c4c80-8e7e-4af4-b4a1-4c85.png

Try setting a cube to the path and then set the hand to the cube as a reach object. Then make the cube a dummy.
