    Hey!

    I’m trying to make an animation where a hand is holding onto a text object but I can’t seem to figure out how to parent it to the mesh so that it stays in the same relative position

    Parenting like this probably only works for adjusting the whole model and not just a certain bone (The wrist & elbow in this case). Is there any way to parent the text to a certain point / part of a 3D character model?

    You can either do this with Xpresso or by using a Character>Constraint tag on the object you want constrained.
