Hi All. I sometimes run into issues where I want to move a node along a non-local axis. For example, a hand moving along a pole. The hand might be perfectly posed, but its axis is not aligned to the pole - so moving it along the pole can prove tricky. I know I can create a parent empty atom which is aligned to the pole and move that instead. but I'm using AcidBubbles excellent timeline plugin, which means the empty parent wont be in the same animation group as the person, making things a bit difficult.
So, long and short, is it possible to move a node along an alternative axis? eg Use the parent axis instead of its own? Or re-align the nodes axis without moving the underlying mesh?
Hope this makes sense?
thanks
