Getting Props to Follow Body Parts - Like a Beverage or a Gun In A Character's Hand

Let's say, for example, that I pose a cigarrette or a lollipop into the hand of a G8 figure. Then I change the overall pose of the figure.

Is there a way to get the cigarette, lollipop, maybe a beverage...a gun....anything the character might hold...to stay in the hand of the person without having to re-position the prop?

    Basically, you parent the prop to the body part you want it to follow in the case of a weapon that would be the hand. Then position the fingers to "hold" the object. Unfortunately some poses change the finger positions. So it may require some touch up.

    That's very helpful...I just tried it. At least it keeps the prop very near where I need it to be so I don't have to go hunting it down and then trying to get it into the scene.

    Thanks!

    If you pose the hand for the weapon in a way you like, you can (and probably should) save it as a partial pose for later use.

    Thanks, Ostadan, I didn't know that was possible. I appreciate it!
