Joints Rotate?

[devilman13]

Howdy

All the joints in my fingers are right but one, I need it to turn in Z for the hand to close. All of the finger are set to rotate in Z to close the hand, but the End of my pinky go to the left. It axle for it to close right is Y, so how do I change the Y to Z. :hello

The Way I need is:
Z for up and down
Y for Left and Right
X for Rotate spin

The pinky is:
Y for up and down
Z for Left and Right
X for Rotate spin

How do I change this. Please help, I know it's something easy, but I can't remember. :confused:

Select that joint and press F8. That's gonna take you into component mode. Press the black question mark (?) in the menu bar, that's going to show the axis of that joint. Click on the axis, select the rotation tool and rotate it to right direction.
Hope that helps.

Press F1 inside of Maya. And type in the search box "Orient a Joint's local axes manually" (Copy it from my thread). This will bring you to a short tutorial (blue T) on how you do exactly what you need. I would type it and explain it but time is short ;) Good luck to you.
