Constarints

[animation man hi]

OK well can someone explain to me what every constraint does and an example of how it would be used thank you.

Same answer as the other post: look in the book. Exercise 6 (Door's Stuck) takes you thru some of the constraints. Look in Help and search this forum for info on the others.

 

There are years' worth of questions and answers archived here, on every subject, plus a gazillion downloadable tutorials. It takes a bit of effort - sorry about that, but the only place I know where you can learn to do animation in five minutes is Second Life, and those animations suck.

Have a look at the Technical Manual:

 

http://www.hash.com/Technical_Reference/Te...l_Reference.htm

 

Click the Search tab, and type in Constraints.

 

The first articles that come up are About ones, for example "About Kinematic Constraint Objects". Many of the articles have specific examples.

 

And http://www.hash.com/2007web/vm.htm at the bottom of the page for a video on how to use several constraints.
