Rick,
How about creating a dummy object and linking the human AND seat belt
as child objects of the dummy.( Do any linking/unlinking at frame 0 or
things might fly away.) In this way, the human and belt will follow the
dummy but still be able to move independently when required, for example
when the person slips out of the seatbelt (probably because it was too
slack) and flies gracefully through the windscreen! Voila!
One problem I haven't really solved yet is how to get things to morph
in the position I want them to – I always end up having to put keys in
almost every frame to keep them in the spot I want.
