How do I rotate two objects together without...
by Hannah Benbow on May 1, 2012 at 2:10:01 pm

grouping them together.

So right now I am rotating a bucket. I need to have it in two halves, but it has to rotate together to not show that it is two seperate objects.

If I group it, then animate it... When I ungroup it, the frames disapear.

A super random thing to do, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

Try attaching them - make sure the two objects are polygons, or convert them, then go into sub-object mode and attach one to the other. That should work.

If you prefer to keep the 2 pieces seperate you could place a null at the rotation point, linked the pieces to it, then animate the null.
