  • Change Object Axis Without Making Editable

    Posted by Andy Baumgartner on April 4, 2009 at 4:19 pm

    I want to use a random effector with a rotation parameter on letters from a text object in mograph but the letters all rotate around the front face of the object and not the middle of the “depth.” Does anyone know how to do this?

    The “Axis” setting in the Lines/Words/Letters tabs gives you some control of the rotation point, but unfortunately only in the plane of the front faces.

    AFAIK you would have to make the text object editable and put the individual parts you want to manipulate into nulls to change the rotation point relative to depth.
