    3d question: objects moving in circular direction

    Posted by Scotty Pupkin on March 12, 2006 at 10:19 am

    hi

    here’s the situation:

    I have 3 cars (car , truck & suv) and I want to profile one at a time as if they’re on an imaginary turntable and we’re looking at it from the front. I’m having trouble getting a circular “spin” – – as the cars rotate…..

    example: (a = the car, b=truck and c=suv)

    a c
    b

    how do I get “a” to position “b”, “b” to “c” and “c” to “a” in a circular way…..is there an easy way other than keyframing a circular path?

    thanks a lot! I really appreciate the help.

    Parent them to a layer/ Null, arrange them and set their auto-orientation to “towards camera”. All you need to animate then is the Null.
