Character handing an object to another character

Unity Engine
1

We will be having a character hand an object to another character. I’m curious about how some of you would tackle this. I’d like to have as much control as possible be in the hands of the animator so that the handling of the object could look smooth.

I’m thinking that we’ll have 2 copies of the object. One for each character. Then we’ll switch visibility on or off depending on who is holding the object.

But I was wondering if there might be something else out there that is more commonly used that I am just oblivious to.

I would think this is the best way to go. The only other approach I can think of is to control the characters’ arms using their scripts (perhaps with some IK) so that they can be made to touch the object at the exact same point. This is much more effort, though :wink:
