Custom Rotation Points

[Deathwish4023 25]

Its cool that you can change the rotation point on most objects, but how about adding more rotation points?

I'm trying to animate a fight sequence and I find that it would be much easier if I could rotate my guy at 2 or 3 different points. it would be a lot smoother  and easier.

thats what rigs are for.

Or you could use folders and parenting each one to said character in some way to give it 3 rotation points.

 

Or you could set the whole character at 16 on the up axis and set the legs and body at -16 on the up axis as well. That should be enough.

I used the folder thing... but that dosent work, as it gets all messed up after a few rotations...

but your other idea seems like It could work. I will give that a shot... thanks!

The changing the 0 into 16 was TheTanJames's idea.
