Constrain object to bone/joint in Unity
I'm currenty making an animation for a character swinging a sword in Maya. Currently the sword is just constrained to the hand bone/joint. I plan to export the character and sword as separate meshes to Unity. How should I export the model/rig from Maya, so that I can constrain the sword to the Hand bone/joint in Unity? Is this possible, and what is the standard practice for things like this? Thanks!
You can add the sword and character separately to the scene and then in the inspector move the sword to be a child of your hand bone. So the hierarchy would look something like: Shoulder>UperArm>LowerArm>Hand>(Sword Object)
Also if you would like to have different weapons you could instead put an empty gameobject as child of the hand bone and use that as a reference to where to spawn your weapons/items.
