well guys

i have some ideas for making a little animation, i want to fold a plane in a sort of cube and maybe some animals or other things.
like origami in the real world :D

my question is... what is a simple way 2 create such animation?

when i turn my polygon al vertices chang postion. when i want to turn it on just one line.

Check out the 'hinge from edge' option in editable poly, that should do the trick :)

.....or - you could try skinning and rigging your origami object using bones and use rigid weighting, check out this scene (http://www.bloomindustrie.com/tmp/origami.zip) (max6) for an example...

cheers :thumbsup:

@ Rens Heeren: toobad that its a sort of extrude function but when i delete them it works perfect
never seen that option before though :D


@ whtnoise: this one i tried before it works but cost a lot of setup time with larger objects but works ok too :)
