  Rotate an object about a custom axis

  Posted by Duane Lee on October 24, 2012 at 3:04 pm

  Hi guys,

  I am trying to create this effect where faces of a cube rotate or fold about each other. Please see the video around 0:23 for the effect.

  Can Motion rotate an object about a specified line in space?

  Or can you change the local co-ordinate axes of an object so that it can rotate about it’s local axes?

  I have tried playing with the Orbit around and spin behaviours, but the motion is wrt the default x-y-z axes. I’d like it to be wrt the previous face of the cube.

  Any suggestions are appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Duane
