Point Constraints Explained in Maya | Beginner Rigging Tutorial

Learn how Point Constraints work inside Autodesk Maya and how they are used to control positional relationships in character rigs and animation systems.

In this tutorial, we break down the fundamentals of Point Constraints and demonstrate how objects can follow the position of another object without inheriting rotation or scale information.

This type of constraint is commonly used in professional rigging workflows when you only want translational movement to transfer between objects.

Topics Covered:
• What Point Constraints do
• Translational following
• Position-based relationships
• Maintaining independent rotation
• Maintaining independent scale
• Common rigging use cases
• Animator-friendly workflows
• Basic production rig concepts

This lesson helps artists understand how different constraint types serve different purposes inside a rigging pipeline and why Point Constraints are useful for creating cleaner, more modular systems.
