Posts: 9 		How do I make a character who is standing hit an object on the ground with a hammer? I went for an idle singing pose to give the impression of holding the hammer. The object I want to hit is a 2 inch thick square plate.
Cheers
Maerus.

This is not ideal but for now this is how you need to animate a held prop in muvizu (thinks of recent threads ^^) until they come up with a better solution.

Just a thought.
