Police light question....

[raythex]

you have to be more specific. and try searching up reference pictures. becuase i noticed that with your last thread, the.... gun one. the biggest problem you had was the lack of reference material.

google up what your looking for. apart from that, until i actually know what you have in mind. i really can't givey ou much advice on problem solving for your model.

cheers

Hi people another of my annoying Q's (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=260916)

What do you mean by "Police Light"? Can you show me how they look? I have never heard of them.

Just because I have nothing else to do but help out people, I did some searching for what I think you are looking for. Before I continue, let me reiterate:

Research more.
Be more specific in your questions.
Try something before posting.
Don't take what anyone says personally. We are all trying to learn and we want to promote an atmosphere as conducive to learning as possible.

Continuning, I think some people might not be giving you the benefit of the doubt just because you aren't necessarily sure how to conduct yourself here. I think that with some simple deductive reasoning, anyone could figure out what it is you are looking for. I took your request about "police lights" as a reference to the lights on top of a police car. On a two minute trip to Google, I found these pictures that might help your reference.

As you can see, there are different shapes and sizes, but most of them consist of some sort of transparent, colored plastic. There are also lights and curved mirrors that spin around inside. Now, aside from the basic structure of a police light, what do you want to know about them?

i just wanted to know how to animate the police light...to make it rotate..

I am not sure where it is located right off hand, but check out the IPO curve video tutorial by Greybeard. It will help you get a pretty good start.
