Mechanical joint animations
Hello. I have a mechanical animation that I am working on and running into an issue. The contraption has 6 joints that allow it to wrap around a pipe. I thought it would be easy enough using parent constraints and moving each objects axis to the correct location but once it’s animated and I scrub through the objects glitch out and turn into a giant mess. What is the best method for animating this device? Any help would be appreciated.

it’s a lot easier to do FK – all the objects are children of the base object so they follow the parent like this

AHHH! It didn’t click that nesting them would make them follow the hierarchy. Thank you SO much!????
