Two Ways to Create a NUT AND BOLT Animation in Blender! (You'll LOVE the second way!)

In this video, learn both how to animate a nut and bolt's movement in Blender with keyframes, as well as how to use constraints to link object movement inside your viewport! This allows you to not only animate movement, but also to set up movements that are linked together in your viewport without keyframes!
