Hand does not move when animation is played

[noxyra]

Hello! I have a pretty basic issue going on, I welded a sword to the left hand and when I try to play the animation the hand stays in place on the weapon. The rest of the animation will play except for the hand/weapon which doesn’t move. I am guessing this is a welding issue, I am very new to animation and really need help with this issue please. Everything is unanchored including the handle.

You welded the hand to the handle instead of welding the handle to the hand. Interchange them, and then hopefully it works.

Hand moves now but weapon does not.

Could you show the weld hierarchy once?

Alright, here’s a solution, hopefully it helps:

1. Group the rig and the object.
   

   

2. Weld the object in this manner:
   

3. Load in your animation. Hopefully, the object moves along with the rig part you welded it to.
   

   

Let me know if this works.
