Hi
I'm quite new to animation in Keyshot and I'm learning as I go. I'm having real trouble trying to do a relatively simple animation of a small printer with a lid.
The sequence is that the casing parts drop in from above, the lid drops in from above (but at an open angle) and then I want to close the lid. I have made a pivot object for this purpose - shown as the metal cylinder in the screen shot.
The problem I have got is that the Lid will not rotate around the local X axis of the Lid Pivot object - no matter what options I select in the animation wizard. The lid now also wont rotate around the lid pivot with just the move command either. It always appears to rotate about the Global X axis. This is driving me mad.
Should I arrange the model hierarchy differently? I've tried nesting the lid pivot in the Lid group and moving it down with it. The manual and tutorials are a bit too vague on this - can anyone help please? I can upload the KSP if it helps
thanks - David
