In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

how 2 animate multiplying objects?

Hello!

I have a scene where there are several candles (50 or so), and I need an animation to make all these candles pop-up from the ground as the camera walks among them.

How would you approach such situation? user added image

I have tried using clips and the Trax Editor, since all the motion is the same, but ended up with too many tracks and it got all messy! How could I do it more easily? Expressions??

Please any hint would be welcome!!

Thanx a lot

I would just make a few diferent groups of candel then animate the groups.
