3D rotation - Cube
by Tim Hodgkiss on May 13, 2008 at 8:41:35 pm

I'm probably jumping in the deep end here...

I can do normal 3D rotation. My current problem is trying to create a cube. There are six comps, one of which is the 'master'. Using expressions I can get the x and y to match up for the side pieces, the x, y, and z to match up for the back, and the top and bottom are giving me issues.

Thus far my efforts work only for two of the rotations, but since I want this to be spinning freely (it's meant to be hovering and rotating in the final design), I could do with getting all three working.

All six sides are 500px * 500px, with their anchor points at 250, 250, 250, meaning that I can use this as a common centre for all of them.

I imagine that there is some trick to achieving this, but at the moment it's escaped me.
