How to put weapons in the left hand?

[Conkr]

I'm pretty new to sfm, only done about 10 hours. I've been trying to make posters of different item sets, like the public enemy scout set. The thing is, I don't know how to put all the items into one picture by putting the two weapons in two hands. So basically I want to know how to put a weapon in the left hand.

Use the move and rotate manipulators to place it manually, that's really all you can do.

As a general tip, you can shift+drag a bone to place it on the closest surface in screen-space at the current pointer position. So if you drag a weapon around an press shift while it's above the hand, it will snap to it.

Ok thanks I'll try that. I suppose since it's just a static poster I can just do it manually and not worry about how it moves and glitches out. Cheers :)

You'd more or less have to do it the same way for a movie, with one little extra step: lock and "playhead" it to the hand.

OK ill keep that in mind when i eventually try to animate. Btw your help has been useful, especially the shift-drag thing; I never wouldve known that. :)
