Hi all,

does anybody know how to create this?:

Imagine e.g. a robot with two feet.
The robot should move around in a big circle, while his feet move as well, as if he was walking.

I was trying hard and this happened:
The robot moves around in its circle quite well,
his feet move as well but they get out of axis!
The feet stick on the overlaying circle mover, but in themselves they dont change the direction to stay within the walking direction, they always stay in their first position direction, which looks really silly... They do the "walk"-movement, but always walk linear, while the body moves in a circle...
While the robot turns itself, his feet always look into direction "north" instead of following the circle-movement as well...
Hope I descriped it clear enough with my poor english...

Anybody knows how to fix this?
thx and greetz from the MEAN

Try making a new group for each foot and setting and positioning the keyframe that each foot is on the same as the robot one, IE, have the foot walking and rotating by itself, have the other foot doing the same, then have the robot moving too.

Never in a million years! you can't have 2 different rotating movers on the same group.

I tried it with birds with flapping wings encircling my map to no joy...

You can have him walk in a straight line tho
