I've been trying to achieve a fast and full rotation for an object kind of like an airplane propeller...

(it's actually a group of props I've attached)

there has got to be a quick and simple way to do this!!

please give me a few tips / point me in the right direction..

frustrated me.

you need to manually set keyframes;


1st frame 1 = 0, midpoint = 179, third frame = 359, End = 0

Hello, as a newbie still struggling with the animation aspects of iClone4 Pro, I have a question re the iClone "vehicleanimate" tutorial. The speaker (who tends to speed through all his tutorials without mentioning EACH click he's making), fails to mention how the wheels are attached to a car chassis without the chassis itself rotating in a circle as do the wheels attached to the torus. Have been trying to attach front wheels to a 19th-century stage coach without the stage coach being tossed around in a circle, but to no avail. :/ Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, yours, Dean

Look for this under your extras inside your account on Reallusion dot com

Thanks for the link, but am puzzled as to why the Mechanical Tool Kit is included in iClone3 but not in iClone4. (Can't find it on my hard drive.) Also, there isn't anything entitled "Extras" in my iClone account to click on and download the corresponding software (if that's what you were implying in your second comment). :/ If, by "Extras", you're referring to the iClone "Bonus Packs" for members, the aforesaid Tool Kit is not listed among the seven items there either. ://
