Terror weapons of the Daleks

Can you make amination jaws on skull? Im sure its very funny to watch skull saying HA HA HA as they regroup all togehter with their motherships.I never seen it kind of freak things.And the video look bit grainy.

You can change the angles of recoils if you want, but that is non-rotational. Loop animations are difficult to say the least.

[bigbadbogie]

It could be done with forward, reverse and neutral animations.

[mrtwosheds]

Its jaw is animated on forward, reverse and neutral, but it is fairly hard to see as the skull moves fast.

[Zero Angel]

Oooh, the recoil is a good idea for the jaw. It would open every time the skull fired.

[mrtwosheds]

I heard something about changes to the recoil anim, but have not yet found any details of how it is implemented.

[Nielk1]

The pivot of the recoiling object does it. If you use a dummy object (cube with __h in its name) you can associate it with the vertexes of another part of the mesh and even do so at varying levels to make a stronger or weaker recoil!

[mrtwosheds]

That sounds like bones.

[bigbadbogie]

I think he is talking about vertex animations using the recoil as the bone. I have tried that before and failed miserably.
