Help for creating a simple Chain (CLOSED)
31
Hello, I need some help, I want to create a short necklace from individual Rings. How do I get the "Bones" together from the individual Figures? I want the Rings to be connected but remain individually movable.

I've created a step-by-step guide for animating a mannequin; this guide is in French. The package contains text files in .doc and .pdf formats, allowing you to translate them simply by copying and pasting. There are also numerous screenshots in the document.

It's a bit complex to explain, but Guy91600's tool is good to understand how Daz hierarchy works.
I realized a character whose hair are chains, but I work on them twice: first, I imported the chains modeled from an external software (Maya, in my case), where each ring was a separate component of my chain.obj. Then, I created as many facegroups as there were rings in my chain. I then exported the chain with the assigned facegroups and reimported them following Guy's technique above.
I think you might also find it helpful to check out this video, which explains very well how to create a rig starting from facegroups (which, in your case, is the quickest and easiest way).
