Hi everyone,
This is my first post to the list so please bear with me.
I am trying to move a shape (sphere, square, cube doesn't matter to much) in a circle around a central point. The Easiest way to do this is to use Translate XYZ to move the shape for example 1 unit X,Y or Z and then use rotateXYZ to rotate it. Simple, except I would like to keep the shape always pointing up, so that the texture that will be applied to the shape will always be the correct way up. For this I have decided to use just TranslateXYZ. I have attached how far I have got with this so far. As you can see the shape moves as in a square motion rather than a circular motion.
I am guessing I need to apply some maths to the numbers between the line object and the Translate XYZ object, but everything I've tried hasn't worked.
Thanks in advance
Richard
