[Feature Request] Multiple parents bones

Didjynn

Hello everybody, I have some troublers while animating ants, they have 6 paws so it takes a while to animate all of it one by one. Here is the ant on its first frame (the blue bone is the parent bone) :

Here is the position I want to get :

What would be nice would be to move the body (so abdomen and head will follow) and the foot stay at their place, on the ground and the paws (between leg and body) would rotate to get this position (or something close, it would still save me a lot of time). Maybe is there a way to do that and no feature is needed for this, then if someone knows how to achieve this I would be thankfull.

Thanks for reading me !

Hello, the answer to your problem is using IK constraints on the legs: Inverse Kinematics - Spine User Guide

On a side note, making the "hips" of the ant the parents of the rest of the bones usually makes animating easier on bipeds and quadrupeds, you might want to consider reorganizing the skeleton if you notice you encounter excessive difficulties.
