Hello,

Does anyone have any idea how to do this in Carrara? The attached animation was done in 3ds max.

I have made several attempts but I cannot duplicate the animation. I thought that Cognito from Digital Carvers Guild could do it but Eric say it could not.

Any thoughts?

Mike

Well it looks like I cant upload the video for some reason.

OK I saved the video as a Windows Media File. *.wmv. Sorry but I could not compress the QT video enough for Renderosity to let me upload it.

In any case is there any way to do this in Carrara?

If the IK target is used, this movement is possible. http://carrara.eek.jp/data/mov/crank03.gif (I can't attached the file...) 1. Select Bone 1 and click Bone 3 with Create IK chain tool. 2. Adjust the constraint of Bone 1 and Bone 2 Sample animation.(QuickTime H.264) http://carrara.eek.jp/data/mov/crank03s.mov Sachiko

Very good! That gives me something to work with. Is it possible for you to post the Carrara file?

Hey Mike, I did some animation like this in Carrara a couple of years ago. You can see it in the multimedia section of my website: www.zavalastudio.com. If I still have the original file I could send it your way if that would be helpful.

Thank you Robert...

Very nice work. But what I am interested in is animating the landing gear struts.

Sachiko,

The link you posted was to the GIF file not the Carrara file...can you post the Carrara file?

Thanks,

Mike

Oh! sorry, I uploaded by mistake. I replaced GIF file with CAR file. Try again to download.

Very cool, Sachiko! Did try to do a wing with that rigging? Looks like you can make a wing unfold.
