IK hand parenting

When parenting an IK hand together with a second object, it's usually the case that the hand is the parent of the other object, correct? At what point do you usually choose to parent them the other way around, so the object is the parent of the hand? Is it entirely based on where you want the pivot point to be? Or the size of the object you're parenting? Thoughts?

On the subject of relative size

Rowan Atkinson address this, among many other things in his dissection of comedy "Laughing Matters". Very well worth an hour of your time.

Reynaldo - small request

David, i found the lips-sync tutorial you did very helpful. I was hopping that you would do a short constraints video tutorial similar to what you were showing us on fixing the horses knee pole vector. Also one on how to bake and transfer animations from a Mocap rig to Morpheus or any other clean rig. It would be great if it were uploaded to Vimeo for future students to see.

INSTRUCTOR POST - feedback required

Post in the comments field of this post a couple of sentences about what worked with this course and what would you like to see changed. This is part of your class participation mark, so please participate.

This does not replace the AAU online feedback mechanism for your classes (please, do remember to fill those out for all of the courses you take). If there's any comment you'd rather make anonymously, you can do so there.

It's a way for you to give me some direct guidance on how to improve the class. Was the workload to heavy or too light? Were there topics that were not covered carefully enough (or not at all)? Are there things about the class you could have done without entirely?

Every course I teach is a product of the feedback from the students that came before you, so pay it forward and improve the quality of the class for the next group.

Thanks!

Dave
