started watching a few more Utube videos and asking some second year students about what they know and i thought id try making a vehicle which could be driven using some locators. i started off and found out it was more difficult than i thought. i first put an expression on all 4 wheels to make them rotate as the locator was moved in the Y axis, but it ment i could not then put a second expression on the front 2 wheels to make them turn. i tried to create a skeleton for the wheels to turn but that streched and miss shaped them. i then found out about the connection editor box below:
i could use this to match things up behind the scenes and it seems to be alot easier to use as oppose to trying to decide whihc constraint is best for certain animations.
i also found it usefull to group a few objects and find this particularly helpfull as a friend has asked me to create a bicycle animation and i can use this to group the pedels with the wheels so they all spin in sync.
