[Plugin Beta] Animator - v4.0a - 02 Apr 24

About Orbiting, for the time being:

when you have clicked to select the pivot, you should click-right and choose the reference object if this is not the one taken by Animator or if you wish an absolute pivot.
The reference object for pivot is highlighted in Orange.

I'll make the GUI more explicit in a next version.

It is my understanding that only the Pro version can be used with Animator. We will have to wait and see when they post the link today.

Idem! Seems there is blend of rotation / Object / General!

Is there a bug there?

ntxdave

I have been rebuilding my Pendulum animation (preparing for Twilight Render) and I have not seen a problem. I thought I did once but went back and redid my sequence and all worked well for me.

Yes same than Chris!
Rotation must be from a point outside the object, but result gives from a point inside the object!

OK - I understand. My rotations were from inside the object.

When you pick the pivot, the reference component containing the pivot is highlighted in orange. If you wish a pivot at top of model, then right click and select the option.
