Head and Hands not moving

[devilman13]

Hi Guys

Frist Post.

I'm setting up a rig of a woman and when I move the main control the head and hands don't move with the rest of the body. I made the head by using the Facial Rigging DVD. I been mess with it for 2 days now. This is my second rig, and I'm not good at rigging.

Please help
Thanks

how did you connect her parts?

Parenting,
shoulder to eblow parent elbow to wrist. Each has a nurb circle control, that controls them. I can move the shoulder control and move the whole arm no problem. But I when I move the rest of her body, the head and hands stand still.

Do you know if there is some tutors or website that can help. I'm been watching the free one here on-line, I don't have the cash right now to buy a DVD, plus I using Maya 8.0. The last verision I had use 5.0 There is alot of NEW thing in 8.0 and some plug-in don't work now.

why not try combining or attacthing? :)

Well the the only constains I have are Aim, Point, Orient, Scale, and parent in Maya. I don't know what you meen by cobining or attacthing. If you can give me an EXP of what your talking about, I would really appreciate it.

I believe moonie is saying you could simply do a poly > combine or attaching the actual geometry to the parts that do move.

Call me silly, but how do you do that. I guess I need a little better EXP...sorry. It have been over 3 and half years, sent I Rigged anything. I can model like a madman, but rigging is a different story for me.
