    Example:

    o46x1

    If I want the top 2 segments to rotate like a rubic cube, how to get object puzzles to rotate the selected vertex groups?

    puzzles won’t allow you to manipulate vertex groups directly. use bones.

    Segments 2 and 3 share the same 4 vertices. You can’t rotate segment 2 without distorting segment 3.

    Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

    Thanks. Also, if a blender file has more than one animation, how do I get animation puzzles to select a certain animation?

    More than one animation per object? It’s not supported in Verge3D.

    I see, I was gonna produce a web/browser game where the playable character can do multiple actions but I guess I gotta create separate blend files for each of its various actions then.

    This is one reason why I asked if hiding objects would improve overall user performance, esp for memory and fps

    Nope. You can create one animation containing all required sub-animations and play them from frame to frame when needed.

    Instead of playing from frame to frame you can cut one animation into several parts and play them individually.

    Thanks, this is actually a good answer. I’ll try this for sure B-)

    Late reply, I noticed here you cloned an animation clip to play from frame to frame. Why can’t we simply play frame to frame, using “Play animation puzzles”? Or using “Get animation of”? Or even “Select an animation clip”?

    Is there a difference between these 4 ways of playing from frame to frame?

    I’m trying to play animation from frame to frame when keys are pressed, yet it doesn’t work

    Why are we only limited to this, and not as I mentioned below:

    Why do we have to clone parts of animation to play those parts, and not simply play part of the original clip when needed?

    Also, why can’t I play an animation in reverse? I can play a cut clip:
    o46x1

    But in reverse, it doesn’t work:

    o46x1

    look at your puzzles with more attention and remove unneeded puzzles.

    Done, still not working :unsure:

    I’m trying to freeze an animation after it plays for 2 seconds, then play it in reverse

    You can’t play the legs animation from 31 to 39. After cloning it has only 9 frames, from 0 to 8. The same with other animations. They are short.
