Maya rotation animation problem

Aboulicious

Hi,

I've got problem with an animation in maya. I think it's just a fallacy. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong.

I've got a ring whitch i want to rotate in 35° so it's a bit angulared.
And then the ring shoud rotate in one axis (y object axis) so it's revolve around itself.
But maya don't accept my entrys... I know I'm doing something wrong. I just don't get what it is!!!

I hope you know what I mean but for a better understanding please whatch this video.

Without seeing your exact setup it's hard to tell. In this case I would be tempted to just put another group node above everything and rotate that since it seems to me a rotation order issue.

Thanks @Axi5 for your fast answer. What do you need to see? I will post a screenshot.

Okay so, there's clearly some connections going on between your controller rig and your objects so it'd be cool to see a node graph of that, maybe your hierarchy too.

In the meantime, I captured a quick video demonstrating what I think the solution to this is. Essentially Maya's default rotation order does Y then X. You want to do X before Y.

Here's the clip:

Deep inside me I knew it was just checking a box or something. XD

THANK YOU VERY MUCH @Axi5! I love you!!!
This caused me so much headache!

For me the "problem" is solved!
