This is exaclty what I was looking for, however I can't believe such a simple task requires this kind of workaround... Loving blender with my entire heart but in such moments I doubt it can be called industry standard software....

I felt the same way, I was wanting to make each object function independently. Ultimately, this work around helped me embrace new techniques and begin learning constraints which has helped me in other areas.

There is an easier way. In the object properties, under the rotation section there is a "Mode" property default "Euler XYZ". This configures the order each axes rotation is applied. You need to change this so the twist axis appears before the tilt axis. If your twist axis is Z and your tilting on X and Y, choose "Euler ZXY" or "Euler ZYX". Or you can leave it as "Euler XYZ" and orient all your models so the rotation is exclusively happening in the x axis of rotation. This is counterintuitive because the cylinder spins along its z-axis but the default is for things to spin along the x-axis so it tumbles and you think something is wrong. So you just try to spin a long the z-axis and then it doesn't work.

I'm about a week into learning blender and I spent hours trying to figure this out on my own but you gave the perfect solution! Great tip on the linear curve too.

Thank you so very very much. I have been trying to figure this out for months and thought about giving up on Blender because no other animation project is this complicated.

Found a simpler way! Just animate the object when it is lined up to the Y-axis globally, before the tilt. Then parent it (ctrl+p) to an empty object and rotate the empty to your desired tilt. Hope this helps someone!

@AfterHours-3D-vfx

This works too. The only issue is if you have to adjust or change the animation after you rotate it to match the scene.

this seems more complicated than it need to be. just make two empties, parent the object you want to spin on the first one, then parent that to the other empty. Animate the animation you want on the first empty, then tilt the second one to the angle you want it to be. No need for constraints

For some reason, the owner object flips mirrors itself everytime the empy spins 90 degrees, if that makes sense. It wouldn't be an issue if I had a consistent material, but the asymetric material makes the flip very obvious

I dont know you but I love you good sir!

Make sure you move the last key frame to frame #91 though, or else you'll get 2 frames of 360 degrees (since the first frame at 0 degrees is also 360 degrees). You want the animation to end at 359 degrees and start at 0 degrees. You could also do this by making frame #90 359 degrees of rotation.

I was stuck on this same problem for a long time. I’m happy to help.

Simple , Parent the obj (spinner ) with the cube Then Tilt the cube

I have the front car wheels on a model spinning by rotating a car axil they are parented to. However, when I try to rotate the wheels around the z axis, to make it look like the car is turning, (while the wheels are spinning) they spin off axis, giving a big wobble. I have made sure all "origins are properly centered, but can't work this out.

This was great, though I think slowing down/speeding up would have been good to add. I know you can do it with time stretching but that impacts everything.

If you slide the rotation key frames left and right on the time it will slow down or speed up.

It’s hard to know without seeing it, but sometimes you can get different results by experimenting with moving the object origin.

hi, when i spin my object..is spining..but is wabbling...how can i fix that

Is there an easy way to make this work if the top is a child object to another object? It seems to screw up the rotation when linked to a parent.

I haven’t had a chance to find a solution to this yet. Based on your question, I’m imagining something like a solar system, with a planet tilted on its axis and parented to the star. The star is rotating to provided the planet’s orbit. And I assume adding the empty and constraint is not working to provide planet revolutions. The solution maybe to have the planet follow a path instead of being parented to the star. I haven’t tested it, but hopefully you can apply this to your model. I apologize for the delayed response.

@AfterHours-3D-vfx

Жыл бұрын

If you applied the rotation, you will have to reset it by manually rotating it back to the global z orientation, and applying rotation again. Then re-orient in the scene without applying it.

Man I thought this was gonna do it for me but my owner is just rotating along the same global axis than the cube I don't get it

@AfterHours-3D-vfx

It sounds like you have applied rotation. You might need to rotate the object until it’s local axis is lined up with the cube, then apply rotation (ctrl + A). This basically resets the local axis. Then rotate back to your desired angle, and leave the new rotation un-applied
