by In this Blender tutorial series, we explain the essential Blender concepts and tasks that you need to know in order to create complex simulations. The idea is to create a series of brief tutorials on how to use Blender. These tutorials are specially designed for mechanical engineering, robotics, mechatronics, and machine learning students. The idea is to explain how to create animations of robots, drones, and similar mechatronics devices by using Blender. Also, we will create tutorials explaining how to use Blender for physics simulations and how to couple Blender with Python.
In this particular Blender tutorial, we explain how to reverse animations in Blender. Here is the plan. First, we create a simple animation of a translating and rotating cube. Then, we reverse the animation in order to obtain the complete movement cycle. That is, we create a single cycle that consists of forward and backward cube translation and rotation. The idea is to copy and paste the first keyframe at the end of the animation. The YouTube tutorial is given below.
