Animating In Blender (Part 2)

 As well as being fairly easy to animate vehicle wheels based on the movement of an object I also wanted to look at how it easy it is to use Blender's physics engine



  This animation was created using Blender's rigid body physics - also was a lot easier than I expected




I speed watched a few of YouTube videos before and during the processhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lDY5YN3SEA
