Supreme Commander FA Modding - Coding Rotator Animations
This was briefly covered in my 3D modelling video (https://youtu.be/dZyEMWtGAiI) but it was meant as a quick demo of what's possible, not how to do it. This expands on it with a little more details. I tried to keep it simple so even non-programmers can follow along.
Here I've created a unit with different animations which wouldn't work with a simple anim file. It's a flying unit with blades that rotate at different speeds based on height and engines which rotate to simulate forward thrust. I tried doing left and right animations but couldn't figure it out.
All animations are coded in LUA. No animation files are used. I'm using 3DS Max r9 from 2006, not Blender.
