With XPresso, it is very easy to use the postion/scale/rotation of one object to drive or animate other objects. In this tutorial, we look at linking the rotation of planets moving at various speeds to one master object. i.e. Only one object is animated. All the rest are driven from this one object. XPresso does the maths to generate the correct amount of rotation for each planet etc.

This is a replacement tutorial that shows a slicker method of using XPresso than the original. Plus it's higher resolution and more in depth. Recorded in R10 but R9 or R11 users should be able to use the same techniques.

Flash format movie. 26min 30 sec 65mb The zip includes the scene file. (R10 format) Unzip and open the html file with your browser.
