Need a question

[Thomas Monberg Thompson]

For my guy to move off of the turf, his hand needs to be planted regardless of where the other joints move, is there any way to place a constraint temporarly on the hand joint untill he gets to a certain point?

Constraints only work with IK. But for someone who is going to need to plant his body on his hands, you'll need to have IK anyway.

Remember that you don't have to use the same rig for every shot. For Spiderman, they had something like 15 different meshes/rigs for different situations.

So for this shot, just IK his arms as he gets up. Then you don't need to use constraints or anything like that. You can just have him push himself up and move the IK handles.
