How to make things look like rotate

<< < (2/2)

Kubajzz:
You can use this script for rotation around the Y axis:


--- Code: ---float $speed;
$speed = 5;
$orientation = (0, sin($speed*time), 0, cos($speed*time));
--- End code ---

How it works? Orientation variable is a quaternion - it consists of 4 values, eg. (0, 0, 0, 0); you can see that the last row of my script is almost the same as the Kreator's one, but the "sin($speed*time)" formula is on the secont position of the quaternion instead of the first - that means Y axis rotation instead of X axis... Easy isn't it?

Also check the ASL controller scripts collection on Anim8or.org for another orientation script with explanation how to use it.

thanks for the script and for the list of controller scripts, really helpful
oh and..
in preferences my frame rate's set at 24
however when i play my scenes the frame rate comes up as 83.5 ...
is this a bug in 9.6? or is it just some setting i have to change?
if it's a setting, any idea how to correct it?
sorry for all the questions.

Kubajzz:
Go to View>Preferences and check the "Limit Playback" checkbox in the bottom of the window 8)
