KspNoobUsernameTaken Posted May 30, 2024 Share Posted May 30, 2024 I have a solar panel like this: https://imgur.com/a/kBmDgEd The curved bit at the left is the panel. It's supposed to focus light onto the central bar, and rotate around said bar for sun tracking. How would I setup the pivot & raycastTransformName?

Compare what you see in one to the other and you will be able to figure out the relationships. Be sure to take note of the X/Y/Z orientation of all empties and meshes.

That is why you should study other models in the 3D modeler to understand orientations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
