Putting a character in front of *and* behind a prop

Post by SimonM7 »

Hi again! I'm back at it with my "live performance" animated music video. My character needs a lot of tweaking but the basic rig is more or less done, and now I want it to be able to stand behind the microphone, while also being able to place its hands "on top" of it, layer wise.

I am assuming that the best solution would be to have the microphone prop be a part of the character's bone layer? I'm a newbie and doubting my every assumption still, though. :D

Correct and have the arm/hand layers sets in front of and behind of the mic so you can switch to those when you need to be in front of and behind the mic.
Sorry for bad animation
