Playing Catch-With-A-Cube? Funny :smiley:

Very nice! The animation was nice and smooth! The imprint it the box looked weird but altogether great animation!

hehe thanks
yeah tried to do a boolean on the cube for the imprint but it didnt work out too smoothly
if this were a serious project i’d fix it but this was just a quick fun lil animation :slight_smile:

Oh yea I can see how that happened. Still looks great Jeep. Nice clean and smooth animation. Great work!

Heh heh nice Boolean. What exactly do hooks do, and how did you use them in the animation? Love your model, btw.

thx :slight_smile:
hooks are emptys that control parts of a curve
if you go into edit mode of a curve and select a segment, you can do CTRL H and add a hook to it. so, when you want to animate the curve, all you gotta do is animate that empty/hook and it will move the curve around(btw the legs and arms had curve modifiers on them)
