Hi guys and welcome to the challenge tutorial.
Before we start any meeting let's not just what we have and think exactly how can we do this.
Any mission with the least amount of work possible.
This is the trick in motion graphics is trying to find the simplest way the most efficient way.
How are you going to create this animation with the minimum work possible.
Let's look at our animation.
We have the sensor wheel over here.
It's turning.
Of course we have the bars that are turning in sync with the center we now the wagons are also turning
with the sensor really not this they have a kind of a motion path if you like that is also circular.
Just like the center.
But in addition to that the wagons are staying up straight.
You want to think about it.
How are you going to keep them up straight.
What kind of emotional are going to use to keep them you know always facing down you notice.
Let's take our ferry not the final one.
I'll close this one.
And that is exactly what we have.
Within the last of course this design is imported from Illustrator.
That all that defines.
So we got this in the composition here.
After importing it has created a camp.
You'll see that later.
But for now just have fun.
You have all the wagons.
Then we have the wheel.
That is the central wheel.
Then you have the structure I call the structure here.
This is the bars.
OK.
I will undo that.
And you have the means stand that surely we're not going to admit now and you have the background let's
lock the stand and the back.
Now also let's zoom in and select the wheel and the structure.
And since you were working on objectifies fires we can make them surprise all the time so we can have
you know some good resolution as you can see it has changed the resolution.
First of all you're not is the anchor point of the wheel and the structure are perfectly aligned.
OK.
That's by luck or by design.
So the wheel has the anchor on just over here.
And the main structure also has the anchor born just over here.
So it's easier really to Nimitz.
Let's zoom out to 100 percent.
Here you are.
Now we understand that the wheel is going to drive the whole animation of course through palliating.
Let's start Les.
And he made the first rotation.
Of course I will keyframe the rotation at the beginning of the composition press and to go to the end
and give it a single rotation.
I think that will be speedy enough actually for now.
I have nothing now take the structure and put it to the wheel.
So if you are in 2018 you will be being just from here.
Now if you play our animation now of course the next step is to equip all the wagons to the we'll see
how we do that select them all.
Click on the pick me up and drop it on the wheel.
Here you are if you play.
Well fantastic.
But now everybody is falling out of the wagons right guys.
OK.
That's not exactly what you want to do.
So what is the solution.
As somebody asked me OK can I use in the transform auto Orient.
Well actually you cannot use auto guys because the wagons don't have a motion path.
They are just equipped or printed to the wheel.
And even if you try it is not going to work.
Alfred for this wagon you know nothing is working fine.
I will do that for the Orient.
And then I would select all the wagons I need to rotate them to reverse the rotation of the wheel the
wheel is going from 0 to 1 for rotation.
These guys should go from zero to minus one rotation.
That's what the whole exercise is all about is to learn how to inverse certain animations when you have
used the parenting.
Let's open our full rotation for all of them.
If you are more.
And then keyframe the rotation.
I'm not going to make it minus 1 to zero.
It doesn't make sense because it's a full rotation.
I would go to the end and just come over and change the rotation to minus one.
Here you are like almost nothing has happened.
Let's see now what happened.
If I play here you are down.
So this is the logic you know how to reverse any mission or inverse if you like.
So the wheel is rotating in this direction.
The children are rotating in the other direction so this clockwise this is anti-clockwise.
If you notice how this guy is rotating and as simple as this you learn now a very powerful technique
of how to reverse animation.
I took a very simple example but this kind of technique will be very useful for you later on.
Thank you very much for listening.
I hope this practice activity and challenge was fun for you.
I will see you in the next lecture.
