Anyway, I was playing around wtih the IK joints, and getting the hang of it back ( no, it's not like riding a bike ) But it looks like the IK joints settings are locked into the 0-360 degree range. Is there any way to open up an IK joint so it will spin freely? such as a wheel or a gear? Thanks Troy Post by hultek43 // Apr 10, 2006, 1:54pm hultek43 Total Posts: 234 Probably NOT a good idea to do whatever it is you wish with IK..... Post by madCoder // Apr 10, 2006, 5:56pm madCoder Total Posts: 2 hmm, if IK is not a good idea for this, could you suggest a better way? wait, I have an idea, what about building a rotor or bearing? like, a cylinder inside a clyinder. I'd have to make it pretty precise though, so it doesn't wobble.

This would give wobble-free spinning. Hope that helps! Post by hultek43 // Apr 11, 2006, 8:10am hultek43 Total Posts: 234 For other options, look HERE. (http://www.virtualcaledonia.com/);)
