Cars Movie - Animate Eyes On Windshield

[rd13603]

Hello,

Can someone explain the method of moving the eyes on a windshield like in the Pixar CARS movie?
I'm guessing they are moving a texture around.

How is this done? Please explain....

Keeping in mind I would like to have the texture moved using a Nurbs control curve with an Aim Contraint.

Trying to animate eyes on my car as well.
Thanks in advance,

Richard

Hey,
I did this once for a cartoony character. The way I set it up was having the texture of the iris have a move 2d node attached to it, next I created one locator parented to the head and aim constraint to another locator sitting in world space, then I created a set driven key using the rotation of the head locator as the driver and the 2d placement offset of the 2dplace node as the driven, then I just keyed the placement node to line up with where ever I moved my look locator.
hope that makes sense
