| With the powerful feature "link-to" in iClone2.5, users can attach any car or airplane to the "helper" for easy animation.
Here are two bonus helper as Props for free download.
(Please get the files in the post attachment)
Helper (1) - Bank Path
Helper (2) - Rolling
===============================================
How to
1. Download the helper and place the VNS files to your template/custom Props folder.
2. Open your project with your target prop.
3. Load the helper from Props folder.
4. Double-click your model (led to modify panel) and go to
Adjust > Link to (open Link to sub-node) > select the placement for attachment
5. Check "Align position to parent"

| | Hi Rehdogg, 3DXchange doesn't create animations itself but any parts such as wheels, propellers etc can be separated so that they can be animated in iClone using the Timeline. This will vary from model to model so you should check to see if the model you are importing contains parts that could be animated. There are a number of tutorials that explain how to do this below: http://www.reallusion.com/iclone/3dx_usecase.asp When it comes to the tutorials you should try going through them more than once if need be until things become clearer. Skipping things because it isn't clear the first time can make things harder to grasp later on. Practice makes perfect so don't give up. I'm sure you will pick things up the more you use the software.

| | I just checked the zips and they appear to be working fine. It may have just been a temporary problem. Please try them again.

| | Hi Peter. When I tried to load the rolling helper, nothing shows up for me to link to. In the Scene Manager, under Info, it says 0 for the helper. It does however show up in the timeline with all of the perform commands. I've downloaded it twice - the rolling helper iClone file I have is 57.7 KB. Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thank you. Oh, if it matters, I have iClone Pro 3.1. |

Hi, Just do the following to link to the helper in iClone3: Zoom out your view after adding the helper so you can see it in the Preview Window. Then with the your chosen prop selected press Pick Parent under Linkage. Now choose the Helper in the Preview Window. Back under Linkage select Link To (see below) to open the Link To Sub-Node window. Select Box01 and tick Align Position To Parent. That should do it.

| | Hi Peter - thanks for your patience. I completely understand what you're saying but the problem is that no matter how much I zoom out, the helper rolling prop is not there. Even when I use the camera view to look at it specifically, it's not there. The banking one is fine - no problems. Is this what you have in your scene manager?
