Shelf tools Sticky

This tool creates an object which takes its transform from the world-space position of a UV point on a polygonal surface. You can then parent another object to the Sticky object to make the object follow the surface.

This is similar to the Rivet tool; however, this tool is more precise since you can attach the sticky anywhere on the surface and you can animate the position as well as the object. For example, you could animate a monkey riding on an elephant’s back while sliding across the surface trying to balance.

1. Click the Sticky tool on the Create tab.

2. Select the object to stick to and press Enter to confirm your selection.

   You can shift-click the object to adjust the sticky location.
