rotate pivot

[kamsvag]

any method to interactively orient the rotation pivot?
when using orient or aim constraint, it always orient in the undesired axis, my work around is to parent the object to a group or locator and then adjust the object roation...but it's quite stupid and not works all the time

any idea?

you can control the axes the aim constraint uses. that information is accessible through the attribute editor (just select the aim constraint)

Additionally, on joints, you can edit the local rotation axes by going into sub object mode (F8). With ordinary objects, if you want to change the local rotation you have to use groups (as you have discovered). However you can change the rotation order of an ordinary object through the attribute editor.

you can do a rotational offset from local on normal transforms, using rotate axis in AEd - or if you want the rot to be compensated for select it in comp mode, its under '?', local rot.

ah cool! I had missed that option!
