Tricky Dynamics set up
by Jake Nelson-Dooley 6 days ago
I need to create a Dynamics setup that simulates the type of booby trap with two logs suspended by ropes swinging down like pendulums and smashing together. I'm sure you know what I mean, it's in ever

Calculating number and size of cog teeth...

Hi. I have to create a clock-type cog (60 teeth) that is driving a flat panel with (hopefully) matching grooves (see attached pic). The absolute dimensions are not particularly important, but I was ho

Hello! I've tracked a sequence in my bathroom, and I want to reflex an object in the mirror. I've put a plane where the mirror is, and the track works pretty good. The problem comes with the material

you are reflecting onto a plane which contains your image, yes It won't work that way since the image is "in the mirror" so to speak - it's like looking at a reflection in a polished wooden table, the
