it's rotation animation, however, it will "follow" the "box 1".
Pretty much like a helicopter.
This works find in 3D max, however, when I go to export it to
a .w3d file, the animations do not work.
OR, the "box 1" will move, but "box 2" will not animate, but
it will still follow "box 1"
This kind of animation is not recognized (and not exported)
by W3D Exporter.
Do in this way:
- insert 2 dummies
- create the animations for each one
- link the 2nd dummy to the 1st dummy
- insert those 2 boxes (same position and rotation with those
2 dummies)
- link the 1st box to the 1st dummy
- link the 2nd box to the 2nd dummy
group them all (a single group)!!!
- export the W3D file
that's all.
