Title: How do I make translation movements?
Post by: DigGil on March 11, 2009, 05:34:44 pm

I'm using the Sequence Editor for the first time (usually I make meshes only) and I came up with the problem of animating a telescopic pipe, but I need to translate from extended position to folded position (like sliding one pipe in a bigger one), but I can only rotate.

One of my best aproaches was to make like a piston in the engines car, but not much luck as the smaller pipe goes up a bit while sliding in.

How do I do translations in Anim8or?

It's almost like what I've made before, but lance cleared some problematic tilting.

Thanks.
