Copy rotation is pretty great when you use the "Local space" option. Ever wanted to rotate a bunch of stuff random on it's local Z axis? It's the same axis you get when you go to rotate something with these keys R>Z>Z Just spin an empty around the Z axis and set it as the target and you can have a million spinning bullets flying around everywhere but still facing the right direction, for example.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Nice! That sounds cool. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

i used one empty to "spread" road vibration in a set of car wheels in an animation, set a noise in the empty and used local to each wheel be locally affected (since i want to copy the z vibration only) used the factor to smooth the vibration between the wheels for a diferent influence be at diferent wheels (that way they don't jump at the same time, they flick jump in delay giving the illusion te bump in the road "passes" from one wheel to the other).

[@WoodysFx]

the 'copy transforms' constraint is much more powerful then you've given it credit for. you can use parenting and the copy transforms to choose how an object stores transformation data. the child of a parent will not inherit the parents transform data, but using a 'copy transform' constraint, you can store the transform data from the 'parent' (the source driving the copy transforms constraint) on the 'child' (the target being driven by the constraint).

[@KaizenTutorials]

Good to know! To be honest I just haven't used it much. For the type of animation work I do I just don't need it! So that was a very biased piece of information lol

[@goku_dunker_420]

Something that I found to help a ton when animating weapons/items is the Child of constraint, since it's like parenting, but far less messy and keyframeable easily

The tennisball example is physically wrong. The Gas inside the tennisball is compressible meaning it can change in volume. You can actually see it in the video, at the beginning of the impact. Now a solid object without voids, like a rubber ball would behave as described, until the force exerted upon it is large enough to rearrange the molecules it's made out of, if possible. In polymers like rubber this is usually possible.

Hmm didn't know that. But good to know!

I rarely have copy location on World Space for both objects. For two objects it's mostly Local + World Space And for Objects related to Bones, Local + Pose Space. We're transforming relative to another object and most of the time it's better to make it more relative with Local Space. Especially, when the "parent" object is rotated, copy location won't be as adaptable, when using World Space. Copy Transforms is useful for rigging eye movement for simple rigs. You don't want the eyes to leave their confined space, but also don't want restrictions for your controllers? -Add one bone for each eye -Make eyes copy transforms of their bone -Limit location of eye bones and hide them -Set up controllers with copy transforms as well -Get universal eye controller, without any limitations => Eyes will stay in the socket without the controller being restricted

Something you can use the transform constraint for is, functionally, constructing an entire animation; if you don't click extrapolate then you can set a sequence of transform constraints to function as keyframes to control an animation you can reuse as often as you want. Of course once you figure out the action constraint it is a far better option.

[@JRHainsworth]

Due to an error in the math in Blender, setting the influence to less than 1 on Copy Rotation can lead to very glitchy results, like the object's rotation snapping an extra 180/360 degrees when the target's rotation hits 180 degrees for example. I found this out when trying to use Copy Rotation to make gear chains.

[@Ballzy247]

Hi Kaizen Tutorials, These principles are often learned while studying 3D animation. To explain them in the simplest terms possible: non-destructive and additive rigging relies on constraints as a core principle, along with the use of "empties" (dummy objects). It is helpful to think of controllers as being in their own hierarchy and driving the empties through constraints, which are also in their own hierarchy. The empties, in turn, drive the bones of the skeleton through constraints in their own hierarchy. This method makes it easier to make changes to the rig later in production without having to start the rigging process from scratch if a director requests changes. In the long run, this approach saves a lot of time, even though it may require a little extra setup at the beginning compared to linking controllers directly to the bones in a single hierarchy. While this method may work in a pinch, it is poor practice and can be very difficult to make changes to later on without starting the process over from scratch. I hope this comment helps to emphasize the importance of constraints to anyone who reads it.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks for the in-depth comment! It feels like something you would learn in 3D animation schools. So it's good to hear they agree on the usefulness and importance of constraints for animating things!

I cannot find anything explaining "affect transforms" in the constraints. I understand it as when active it also limits the transform sliders but it doesnt work like this. The sliders just go further even when the object is already stopped at the limit.

I'm not really sure either what it does and you're right there's not a whole lot of documentation on it...

[@Sasch-the-Chicken]

@@KaizenTutorials Would be nice to have it as a limit for the sliders. So you can set a limit constraint, move the object in the viewport and the limited sliders stop at the limit. I like to move the objects this way and set a key at their limit positions. With the sliders moving further I get the wrong values in the key. Might be intended like that but not fully active or not active at all for now.

I'm pretty new to blender. I was messing around with an animation of a cube that gets startled by an enemy sphere and hops and flips like a die rolls on mid-air, then as the rolling sphere aggressively moves to attack this cube, it cannot stop it's momentum in time and rolls right under the cube as it lands. It kind of looks like a production company's logo animation at the beginning of a c-flick. Anyway, I manually squished and stretched the shapes along the appropriate axis' and it was really hard to get the volume/mass to stay relative throughout the animation. I'm going to remake the animation using the Maintain Volume constraint tonight and see if it will give me better results. Btw, does anyone know where I can post my animations and get constructive feedback without any toxicity or potential theft?
