Snap points for rigs

[ÜberKiller 7.5k]

This one is a little hard to explain, but I will do it to my best of abilities.

 

So lets say you have a rig, say a hoverboard. However you want the bottom of the legs to snap to the hoverboard without much editing. So if two snap points are placed on the hoverboard for the legs, the legs barely intersect the hoverboard, but look like he's standing on it.

 

Another example is if a snap point is placed on a rig of a sword, the snap point will place the character's right/left hand to look as if it were holding the sword seamlessly.

 

So appendages like arms or legs will 'snap' to the snap point, if the snap point allows. The chest can be moved and the legs will follow along.

This would be vey useful for rigging, and for the time when a mob/block maker/editor comes, hopefully it'll have add a snap point feature too.
