    Hand on "arm" articulating

    in GSAP

    Posted

    I'm hoping for the motion above, but translated to the articulating arm in this pen:

     

    See the Pen xxNOQxx by robws (@robws) on CodePen

     

    It almost seems like I need to morph a motion path but in a way that makes it look like a natural arm swinging, and then run the centers of the arm segments on that path as it changes. 

     

    I was hoping that by getting a path to animate right in my first post I could somehow use that as a "dynamic guide" for the segments in my second one, but the pieces just won't go together.

    I can get the hand to "stick" to the end of the arm when the animation starts, but the minute update Paths starts, the coordinate system gets wonky. I'm trying to use the motion path plugin relative path function, but just can't get it right. 

     

    Also would like to rotate the hand from 6 to 12 o clock while it's moving, but that's a dream right now.

    Two-buttons invoke "Zoom" and then "Rotate" not working (locking)

     Given I'm using an SVG I load dynamically, I wasn't sure how to CodePen this, so hopefully it will be okay:

    I want the Start Animation button to zoom in on the SVG, then the Bad Monkey animation to animate the monkey's arm in the zoomed position.

     

    The zooming works right, but then pressing either button does nothing. If I press "Bad Monkey" first, it console.logs, but doesn't tie up the thread or whatever.

     

    The reason I tried to use a global timeline was to make sure the Bad Monkey animation occurred in the zoomed context (that is, the coordinate space was shared between the zoomed image and the desire to rotate an internal component).


    Any ideas?
