Hi,

Is there a way to animate pivot point?
For instance, when rolling a cylinder, you will have use different pivot points.
You can see an illustration of the problem here:

My usual workflow is to use hierarchy of nulls. It works but in this project I would need a lot of nulls to achieve the animation since the object tumbles several time.

I was wondering if there is a way to just animate pivot point so I will only handle one object?

Regards,
Ben

Hi Ben,

Would that work?

Hi Dr. Sassi,

Thanks for the response. I’m having a problem accessing the link. (The site seems dead)
I’ll try it as soon as I can.

Hi Ben,

I checked the URL and googled him. When I use the links given, it leads to a white page. Weird.
It seems that the URL is at least good until fall this year.

Here is the video that would show up on his site.

Perhaps that shows already if it is usable for your needs or not.

Please try again later.

Cheers
