I was play’n around and I found this thing in Object mode called an Empty, and I was just wondering what it is used for? Cause its kinda obvious what it is :P, anyways thanks yall.
You can use it for all sorts of things - mainly animation related. Very useful.
Example - you can parent a mesh or skeleton to an empty and keyframe the empty only. You can make a camera follow an empty object for panning etc.
Sorry - not very indepth but I haven’t got all my resources with me. Possibly someone could point you at an example that uses them.
