10:12 Looking at Drivers

Drivers allow you to connect objects together to create animation. Drivers function like a switch. You can add a driver shape keys, armatures, objects, just about anything. It will drive the animation.

We’ll add drivers to simulate a car and wheels turning. We’ll also add drivers to a cube using some of the deformation tools we’ve previously worked with. Drivers may be an important animation solution for the PSA animation to handle your car and car wheels.

Drivers are very versatile. Use your imagination.

Continue working with the cube we started. Create a short animation for your cube. Give it some personality, level up and add some music and some lights. You can render your short animation for dailies today.

Remember, you can edit in the Blender Video editor / sequencer.

After working with drivers, you can continue your PSA modeling / storyboarding work.
