might want to look at set driven keys along with point constraints.

Inverse Kinematics can be used but using constraints would be more simple and eficant on stuff like this.

I know its a lot to ask, but could anyone write up a quick how-to on this kind of stuff? Or, just as good, point me in the direction of a good tutorial. Have searched and found a few, but none that really worked for me. Maybe I just need to take the time to play around with it. Ah, so much to do, so little time. And I dont even have kids yet. I salute you people who do, and still find time to do stuff like Maya hehe user added image
