In the 3D viewport add an Empty object.With the Torus select under the object menu in the 3D viewport select ‘Shade Smooth’.Īdd Torus, X -3m, Shade Smooth Add the Empty Object.Move the Torus to the the position X=-3.In the 3D viewport select the cube and move it to X=3.In this example I will orbit a cube and a torus around the central p.
Click on the camera icon next the viewport properties to view through the camera.īlender Camera Setup Add and Position Orbiting Objects.For the Rotation set X=90º, Y=0, and Z=0.For the Location set X=0, Y=-20, and Z=0.In the scene inspector select the camera.Press ‘n’ on the keyboard to open the viewport properties.Move the cursor so it is within the 3D viewport area.
I find this helpful because then the 0,0,0 point is directly in the middle of the camera view and I can more easily position objects relative to the camera view according to their X,Y,Z positional values. Basically I position and rotate the camera to point directly at the 0,0,0 point along the Y axis. Position Cameraįor this demonstration I am going to first adjust the position of the camera. Now I will step you through setting up multiple objects to rotate around a central object in a seamless loop with animations applied to orbiting objects. Rotating Multiple Objects Around a Central Point in a Seamless Loop Empty objects are very useful in this regard. When objects are parented to an object they will inherit properties of the parent such as the relative position and rotation. This is because when parenting objects it is the last object selected which will become the ‘parent’ of the other objects. Please note, when you follow these steps it is important to select the empty object last. You will also see that the rotating objects appear nested within the parent object in the scene inspector. – You will see that the other objects have become joined to the parent object and will rotate with it whilst staying in their positions relative to the parent empty object. Now select the empty object and rotate it around one of the axes.Next, making sure the cursor is over the 3D viewport, type command-p (Mac) or control-p (Windows) and in the pop-up menu select ‘Set Parent To’ – ‘Object’.Then, still holding command / control select the empty object last.– Hold command (Mac) or control (Windows) and click on these objects in the scene. Selecting the objects that will be rotating first.Parent the objects that will be rotating to the empty object.First add an empty object which will represent the center point that the objects will rotate around.Parent the objects to the empty object.

This tutorial will also show you how to rotate the objects in a seamless animation loop and how to apply spinning animations to the objects while they rotating around the central point. This tutorial will show you how to rotate, spin, or orbit multiple objects around a central point using Blender. Video Tutorial – How to Rotate Objects Around a Central Point
