Hi I'm trying to make a simple atom with 3 electrons spinning around it, ike in
a 1950's
sci-fi movie kind of way.
I'm a bit stumped with the electron(s) motion. I've tried a couple of things
but maybe
there's a better way?:
1. Made a large sphere primitive and applied the atomize modifier to it. This
works great
except even at the lowest slider setting it makes many small spheres, when all
I want is 1
(so I can make 3 rotate around the atom differently).
2. I made a (small) sphere primitive rotate on a motion path. This works fine.
BUT
Is there any way I move and rotate the object AND the motion path. I can't
figure out how
to select the motion path as a whole to transform it...
If I can select it I can diplicate it (so I have 3) and rotate the duplicates
to other angles.
OR
Is there any way to change the angle of the working box so that I can draw
motion paths
at angles other than the x-y-z axes? Then I could just redraw the motion paths
at the
angles I want them to be... not a big deal to just draw 3 motion paths...
Any examples would be most helpful. Please help! Thanks!
Andrew
