Chain problem

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Look in the in Tips & Tricks thread for the animation snapshot or just look it up in the help files. It ties in with motion paths.

Still puzzled

Hi,
Thanks, I have finally got the chain going now, there's just one problem, I need to make the object (sphere&cyl together) lie "along" the C.V. axis when repeated, i've been playing with the settings, but can't come up with the answer as yet.

Any ideas?

EDIT - All sorted out now, I had forgotten to freeze transformations... Thanks Scraggy
