Wiring example two
- [Instructor] Having looked at one example of using wire parameters in the previous exercise, what we want to do here is try working with a second example that involves doing something that as we say on the surface at least could seem a little more tricky to accomplish. To take a look at what that might be, let's hit the C key and jump over to the 01 camera in the scene which gives us a close up of the base of our robot arm rig. What we have here is a situation in which we have animated the rotation of our robot arm using the big red rotation controller but of course, the wheels on the robot that should clearly be driving the motion are static. Now, of course, having key framed or even motion captured the rotation of our arm, we could in turn key frame the rotation of the drive wheels so that they looked to be doing the job that they should. To be honest though, matching these rotations up is not a job that I would fancy. Getting the rotation speed right could take quite a bit of…
