Hey, do you have any tips for rotating limbs? Especially arms I really need to know

[Farah_DeSantis]

hi this might help - to rotate the limb is the same principle as I did the tutorial for rotating punch bag.

You need to cut all the unnecessary space around the overlay and change the anchor point to the place the elbow is before you will shift it - it’s explained

HOW TO: animate the punch bag

There were several people asking me to help them with punch bag so I decided to make this tutorial/template. Hope it will help you. First of all, you need an overlay of a punching bag. There are many to be found on the internet. Before you upload it, make sure there is no empty space around it This is essential because otherwise, nothing from what will be written below will work. Here you have a picture to explain what I mean [bag cut] Remember the script sees every overlay as a rectangle…

Hey love, rotating overlays is a pain. My biggest advice is to think of the overlay on quadrant one of a coordinate plane and work on anchor points from there. This is probably confusing, so I’m going to link my friend’s tutorial on this. I highly recommend checking it out!
