  • Concertina doors – how to animate?

    Posted by Richard Quinn on November 7, 2011 at 2:06 pm

    Hi,

    Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to animate some concertina doors opening.

    I can animate each door one by one, but how would I prevent them moving apart. Is there a way to pin the axis of each door to each other.

    Here is the file of the doors closed and the position of the doors as they open.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Rich

    Hi Brian,

    Sorry about that, the link should work now.

    Thanks in advance for taking a look at the file.

    I don’t have time to test but PoseMorphing might work, Dynamics Connectors (in 13) maybe…

    I had the same thoughts. You can also use IK but it doesn’t produce a perfect result.
