Hi.
Im having trouble with my model. Here's what I've made.
1:http://home.planet.nl/~hoorn704/ring1.jpg2:http://home.planet.nl/~hoorn704/ring2.jpg3:http://home.planet.nl/~hoorn704/ring3.jpg

So what I want is that the outer ring turns, and the inner rings and all follow slowly.
I really don't have a clue how to do this, so hopefully you all can help me out.

It's all connected to eachother, if you turn the outer ring, or move it, everything but the plane (grid) follows. I just want this to happen slower.

Thanks

From what I c, you need to simply wire parameter the rotation of the inner rings to the outer ring and make the rotations say .75 of the original.

Can you tell me how? I looked up the tutorials but couldnt find what you exactly said

I worked it out, But where can I set the 0.75?
Because now it doesnt follow, but goes ahead of the outer ring, so I rotate the outer ring, and the inner ring rotates faster, I need it to rotate slower..

you have to parent both inner and outer rings to the same object

hi,
if u want to wire the rotation just do it 2way connection and in text editor of wire dialog use this function "degtorad(Roatattion_Axis)"
Roatattion_Axis = the roation Axis that u want to wire. don't type these " .
this is the function that convert degree to radian and ur rotation will work fine. and u can use it like this for delay purpose.
degtorad(Roatattion_Axis)/.5 or some value.
i hope it will work.

shahab.
