johnl3d Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Haven't played with expressions for awhile so here is a rough Idea a pose slider controls pointer at left and the rotation of the pointer controls the speed of rotation of the blade on the right roughly [attachmentid=13146] there is some glitches as the speed changes will have to look at that then post the project sped.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanCBradbury Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm not real informed on sliders, but you're able to control the speed of the propeller with a slider? That would be real good for animating something like car tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Another nice one John, Just thought I'd express my feelings... Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Looks good John. Making one blade a different colour would make it easier to see what's happening.....

johnl3d Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 late tonight at workshop/free dinner so no update. This is a variation of something Noel posted with a block and arrow I 'm using the value of the angle of the bone controling the pointer along with the chortime and a fudge factor to spin the prop with an expression. The slider rotates the pointer bone 0-90 as needed. I stopped it at two positions to see if it was doing what I thought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
