Hi everyone,
I'm trying to animate a steam locomotive using expressions to control the whole system. Ideally I'd like to have a set-up where everything relates back to the translation of the main body of the train (ie-moving the body moves the piston, which rotates the wheels and rod). I found a 3dsmax equation with variables here: http://paulneale.com/tutorials/pistons/trigPistonExample.jpg (http://paulneale.com/tutorials/pistons/trigPistonExample.jpg)
but I don't know how to translate that into maya's syntax. Can anyone help?
Thanks
