  Clock…

  Posted by Gabriel Revell on September 3, 2011 at 3:00 pm

  Hi guys, random question…

  I’m attempting to create clock hands where the second hand ‘ticks’ round (as it would) to do a full circle ending up in an X.

  Does anybody have any idea how i would go about doing this??

  (Im going to use the X to be the beginning letter of a world.

  In order to have the second hand have the staccato jerky motion, I would animate it over one second using keyframes, then use the “After Last Keyframe” command in the Keyframe Editor to make a Progressive repeating pattern. You can then bake that pattern into keyframes for the number of cycles you want in order for the second hand to stop where you want.
