Animation Questions

I need to captrue the following motion in an avi file for an upcoming
presentation. I have a roller that needs to spin at the same time that 11
other rollers situated around it are spinning the oppsite way. I can get the
assembly to do this with rotation constraints but I cannot drive them. If I
place an angle constraint on the first roller and drive that then the
rotation constraints donot update automatically during the animation. Anyone
have any ideas to solve this problem?

TIA,

Mark

Sean. I looked at your site. It says Animator is
available for download. Where do you download it
from? And is it free, if not how much?
BTW, is there a free demo cd?

Thanks,

You need to use your own screen capture
software.  That's what the delay value (at the lower right) is for (to
allow you to start and stop recording)

 

A good one with a free trial is

There are other free ones out there as
well.

 

If anyone has a neat animation be
sure to send them to me.  I will post them on the site and with your
permission they may get shown to a very large crowd in Las Vegas in December
