Tips & Tricks - how to animate a flipping cube

This tutorial is my answer to a question on the Area forums. How do I animate a cube moving around by flipping from face to face? In this tutorial you can see how I tackled the problem using dummy objects and the animated link constraint controller.

Here is the original thread where you can check out other peoples solutions to this problem. Rolling Cube Thread

Ah I see what you mean. Yes that would work fine. Just add another set of dummies to the corners and you are off and running.

Sorry for my English ....The dummi you are placed on the edges allow a rotation "board / face" How to rotate the cube board / corner?

Ciao

Thanks Michele71, I just fixed the link.. What do you mean by efficient for the top corner of the cube?

Hi Shawn

I find this interesting solution. The same technique can be efficient for the top corner of the cube?

(p.s.the link that you have entered for other peoples solutions is not available!)

Ciao!
