Luxology Modo Training Video Aircraft Rotary Engine 英文教學正式版
Course Outline
In this tutorial we take a close look at many of the new animation set-up
and rigging tools in modo 401. These tools allow us to rig and animate
mechanically-based objects using constraints, inverse kinematics and
dynamic parenting.
This project explains how to rig a rotary engine. The rotary engine was
a crazy and yet beautiful piece of engineering that powered aircraft in
the early years of aviation. Most famously known for powering fighter
aircraft in WWI, they spun with the propeller at tremendous speed thus
expelling oil in the face of the pilot and making the aircraft difficult
to handle due to the gyroscopic effect of the engine spinning. The unusual
way the engine worked led to a unique design which we look at in detail in
this project via a cutaway model that reveals how all the elements of the
engine moved and interacted with each other.
The focus of the tutorial is automation. When finished the entire engine
rig can be driven by a single keyframed channel. This is an ideal tutorial
for anyone who wants to dig into what has now evolved into very capable
animation system within modo.
The videos are narrated in English and are most appropriate for people
with some modo experience.
This tutorial was developed for modo 401. modo 501 users may find the
tutorial useful, but will have to adapt some instructions to new
techniques found in Modo 501.
