I am trying to make a man lifting weights. i have linkled his parts in the following order: (child to parent) : Foot -> shin -> thigh -> pelvis (both left and right) Chest -> pelvis Hand -> wrist -> uparm -> Chest (both left and right) head -> chest now… I want to make him bend to pickup the weights. My questions are : 1. can i pull his pelvis down towards the stage and his legs will bend ? (i have tried to reverse the link tree Pelvis->thigh->shin->foot->stage but then the pelvis is the child and i can't connect it to the other leg, because then it will have two parents.) 2. How can I "glue" his foot to the stage? Every time i make him bend his foot doesn't stay glued to the surface. With Thanks Sus.
