Rotation Constraint

Rive 101 - Rotation Constraint

The Rotation Constraint allows an object to copy the rotation values of a target object. Similar to Translation and Scale constraints, it features strength controls, axis limits, and offset options, enabling automated rotation-based motion and complex relationship between objects.

  • Efficiency: Using rotation constraints allows you to animate one main controller and have multiple secondary objects follow, saving significant keyframing time.
  • Offset Toggle: Use the Offset option if you want the owner to maintain its current rotation relative to the target's starting angle rather than snapping to match it exactly.
  • Complex Rigs: Rotation constraints are essential for gears, eyes, or mechanical parts where synchronized rotation is required.
