  Question on Dan Ebberts Engine Animation Tutorial

  Posted by Josh J. johnson on January 2, 2008 at 1:43 am

  So I completed the tutorial with my own project. My only problem is the piston (top piece). When the rod goes down and up the piston moves to the left and right a little? Any tips on how to make the piston move up and down with out swaying left and right?

  As I’m not familiar with that particular tutorial, I can’t help with the piston problem.

  I did, however, notice another small problem (which you can easily fix). One corner of the counter-balance on the cam is overlapping the sides of the piston cylinder.
