Hi I am just a beginner in the 3d animation, my problem is this:I have a rigged human model and I have to lift his leg in this way. ![enter image description here][1] ( I don't care about the position of the arms) What I wanted to know is what kind of mathematic operation is this, is it a rotation??? thanks for your answers.( the start position of my model is the typical t pose ).
I believed it was a rotation around the x axis but the model doesn't move the leg in the raight way that's why I thought my problem is mathematic problem. Thanks for your Answers.
