Hi all, I'm hoping somebody could help me with this problem I'm having in the early stages of my design. The idea for the project is to create a mirror which can pivot or rotate back and forth via a handle that the operator moves from a distance, either this or possibly a mirror that they can slide from side to side (kind of like a crank-slider) to view what they need in order to work. I instantly thought of a bus door opening and closing and am working to create a handle like that. I'm struggling to see the motion of this though and figure out if it would move properly. I tried to animate it using techniques I learned from these videos but to no avail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4VAJ5mNnng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTkNbi32ZNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu6gMPZO86U <--- bus door opening Can anybody help with animating something in 3D so that I can continue progressing on this project? Thank you in advance!

Hi guys, Im working on a rendered animation and for some reason the sky always comes out distorted. I've tried playing with the rendering and sky properties and for the life of me, I cant make the sky clearer. I've even tried using varioius presentation renderings and they all come out distorted. Can anyone help me?

I would like to use a .GIF or .SWF or .AVI as a "material" so that i can show how a ceiling would look like with a projection system in it and I would like to put something else than a static image on the computer screens in the space. NOTE: I am doing a animated walk through of a space and that is why I need to know. -Fae
