rotation flipping / gimbal lock?

Post by lord.hackney@hotmail.co.uk » Wed Jan 27, 2016 9:20 am

Morning all...

I've created simple glass pour setup in softimage with a glass rotating from 0,0,0 to 95,0,0 (x,y,z) and exported it as an SD. In realflow as i'm sure many of you know the rotations flip when it gets beyond 90 degrees in x which naturally causes some issues. No disrespect to realflow but it's significantly easier to do some keyframe animaton in softimage and export it, and there's no flipping in soft when it's plotted. Is there anyting i can do in realflow to rectify the flipping? I know there are many ways to skin a cat for the final effect but before I complicate the workflow with an extra step I wondered if there was an easy solution?

cheers guys,

Andi.
