CGCookie – Modeling and Animating a Sci-Fi Hatch

在本课程中，我们将介绍对科幻影线进行建模，装配和设置动画的完整过程。您可能会在空间站或地下掩体中找到这种东西。机械上非常复杂，具有三个独立的锁定系统和一系列齿轮。

对硬表面科幻元素
进行建模在本教程的第一部分中，我们将专注于建模。从一个圆圈开始，我们将从该圆圈开始进行扩展，以同时模拟主门对象和与该舱口相连的后墙/地板。地板将分为两部分，为门在它们之间滑动留出空间。我们还将开始构建各种锁定机构和机械零件。

快速安装无骨架
的装备在本教程的第二部分中，我们将重点关注装备。在上一课程（“搅拌机中的喷气式战斗机的机械索具”）中，我们将重点放在“变换”约束和“局部空间”上。在本节中，我们将使用一些不同的约束和技术来获得我们想要的结果。我们还将使用“世界空间”作为输入，并了解它如何有用。最后，将装配所有机械系统以简化动画。

动画机制
最后，我们将对整个门和所有用于解锁和打开的机制进行动画处理。我们将通过关键帧确定每个对象的开始和结束位置来设置每个部分的动画。在初始位置之后，我们将通过调整图形编辑器中的动画曲线来调整动画。

Create Detailed Mechanical Animations in Blender
In this course, we’ll cover the complete process of modeling, rigging, and animating a sci-fi hatch. This is the sort of thing you might find on a Space Station or underground bunker. It’s fairly intricate, mechanically, with three separate locking systems and a series of gears.

Model Hard-surface Sci-fi Elements
In the first section of the tutorial, we’ll focus on the modeling. Starting with a circle, we’ll expand from that to model both the main door object and the back wall/floor that the hatch connects to. The floor will be made in two parts, leaving room for the door to slide between them. We’ll also start construction of the various locking mechanisms and mechanical parts.

Rig Fast Without Armatures
In the second part of the tutorial, we’ll focus on rigging. In the previous course (“Mechanical Rigging of a Fighter Jet in Blender”) we focused heavily on the Transformation constraint and Local Space. In this section, we’ll use some different constraints and techniques to achieve the result we’re looking for. We’ll also use “World Space” as an input and see how that can be useful. In the end, all of the mechanical systems will be rigged for simpler animation.

Animate Mechanisms
Finally we will animate the complete door and all the mechanisms to unlatch and open. We will animate each part by key framing the start and end position of each object. After the initial position we’ll then adjust the animation by tweaking the animation curve from the graph editor.
