Hello Valery,

 

can you give me the password for the locked region so that I can see how you did it. I've tried but to no avail and now I need this kind of animation for a similar problem.

 

Thanks

 

Raiko

That reminds me on the animations I created quite some years ago when I first came into contact with Theo Jansen's "strandbeest"s.

I digged into my archive and found the files (and also found a small mistake when I looked at the sheet 🙂

The file is not really well documented but I provide it here anyway in case somebody is still interested in the methods used.

Kinematic afficionados may find the time to also create animations for  the Klann-linkage and its derivates:

(The animation on the last site looks like a Mathcad-made animation!)

It is my step machine but for walking not on the floor, but on the ceiling!

Hmmm - looks like my strandbeasts can walk both at the floor and on the ceiling!

But if the machine you posted so many times in various thread really is a step machine, you sure should let it walking around and not standing still at the same place. Or is it just a tool for painting the ceiling in your dacha? 😉

Test for video upload:

(view in My Videos)

Looks like video embedding still is broken

 EDIT: Its not broken, one must allow scripts from ooyala.com - hmm!?
But the way to be able to insert a video is more than cumbersome. I had to zoom my screen to 80% to be able to access the button to insert the video - ridiculous! This forum really sucks more and more!
