I was kinda bored and was thinking off in my own little word as usual when I came up with something that seems kinda cool and yet strange.
Basically I have 2 objects. One object circles around the other object...or does it? Technically movement is based off reference of the things around it. And where you set your focal point...may just change your interpretation of if the object actually moved location!
Here's an illustration:
In the first set the reference point is on the red orb. I define my reference point as what object your viewing and the view of the object can not move nor rotate. Notice how the blue ball moves around the red one. It's movement being eliptical but I just did 4 frames of it and the object rotates (so that little yellow circle always faces the red orb) as it revolves around it.
Now I took the EXACT SAME animation but changed my reference point to the blue orb. Notice what happens? No longer does one orb revolve around the other! The only thing that has motion is the red ball spinning in its spot.
It just seemed very cool how one object completely revolved around another with one reference point and then nothing moved position(XYZ not the rotating though) when I switched reference points.
If you got lost that's okay, if not good tell me your take on it.
