Element 3D JetStrike Parenting and unlinking missile question
Hello everyone!
I know I’m a little late to the party, but I started using Element 3D for After Effects. This is a hail mary, but thought I’d give it a shot in these forums.
My question involves an Element 3D object inside of After Effects. It’s a plane with a missile attached to it.
What I’d like to do is fly the plane around, then have a missile drop, and then the missile shoots out into the distance. The problem I am having is that the missile is parented to the plane, so it moves when it moves. I can animate the missile dropping below the plane, but after that, it still stays parented to the plane, and while I can make the missile have it’s own trajectory, it still follows the plane’s general direction.
At the beginning, I’d like the missiles to follow the plane, then after they are dropped down, they start to shoot off in the direction I’d like, while the plane goes off and flies away.I’m following this tutorial:
I can do this tutorial, but there are issues when you start to have the plane move around, as the linked missiles tend to keep following the parent, in this case the jet. Is there a way to turn off parenting or unlink parenting to this jet? Hopefully this makes sense. I tried duplicating the layer and unlinking the missiles, but it’s not working properly.
Any help would be appreciated, even if it points to a tutorial 🙂
