  Need help making joints

  Posted by Tony Barone on May 2, 2008 at 10:41 pm

  I am fairly experienced in C4D as far as modeling is concerned, when it comes to IK and Bones and Joints, I am a newbie.

  I created a model of a TV wall mount: https://tonybarone.com/Wall_Mount.jpg

  I would like to make it so I can modify it more easily. For example, I’d like to be able to “push and pull” on the rails in the front and have the arms contract and expand as they should on their joints.

  Could someone please explain the best way for me to do this?

  Thanks!

  Nice model.
  Not sure ik is the way for this one. There are some really good rigging tutorials at c4dportal and at c4dcafe. There is also a perfect tutorial about driver animation at lynda.com but that ones not free.
  If you put up a working file I could play around with it on monday.
