Image swinging at end of pendulum
Hello,
After plenty of searching I felt it was time to ask for help. I’m trying to have an image swing naturally on the end of a string that moves like a pendulum.You can view a really rough example which I quickly keyframed to show what I mean.
https://www.ryanhamilton.ca/downloads/expressionNeeded.movI have the pendulum expression on my string, a null placed at the end of the string and then my image parented to that null.
Thanks folks.

That’s really a double pendulum. The math for that actually produces pretty chaotic results, which probably isn’t what you want. You could probably still automate it by triggering a second pendulum expression based on the angle of the first one, but it might be more trouble than it’s worth.

Ok, if the math and procedure will get to crazy I guess it may just be easier to key frame the pictures manually. I have 50-60 of these swinging pics in a room, so I thought an expression would speed things up so I only changed a couple values for each image, and could have different swinging speeds and rotation values. Thanks anyways.
