Rotation of an object during animation ? - Polyloop

Corndog · 24th January 2006, 02:45

I am trying to animate a drill bit going down into an object.. how can I make the continuous rotation through out the insertion and removal of the drill. ?

Thanks in advance

Have the bit rotating and let the drill go in and out over it? At the point of the bit coming out of the wood I imagine you would stop it's rotation and group again with the drill. ( I am not really into animation yet--this is just thinking on the run!)

What I am looking for is how to animate one rotation and then repeat it multiple times until the bit is removed from the object.
I am brand new to animation in carrara.. looking through manual as well.

Wow I was not expecting this. Motion/ modifiers/ spin
Nice
