iClone Basics - Transform vs. Physics Wheel Animation

Wheel Animation

It seems like a pretty simple animation task, but in fact there are a number of different ways in which you can animate a wheel in iClone. In this tutorial, you'll learn about how to save your own animation clips and store them in the perform right-click menu of your prop. This allows you to easily apply and manipulate your animations in various ways.

You can also animate a tire with physics, which requires a constraint setup, but also allows for realistic movement over barriers such as speed bumps. Learn about both methods and other prop animation tips in this tutorial.
