can actually open and close to do this it's actually going to be pretty easy we're going to select the spine of the book and we're going to create two different pivot points for the spine to do this go into edit mode and go into the edge select mode and select this top edge right here i'm going to press shift s and go cursor to select it next i'm going to press shift a and add in a new empty object and it's just going to be a single arrow let's add that in and scale it down i'm also going to press ctrl a and apply the scale so everything works correctly and then let's duplicate that and place it on the other side so press shift d and then x type in point NUMBER_TOKEN in the negative direction and enter to actually get the spine of the book to rotate around these two points we're going to select it and then add a new constraint the constraint that we're going to be adding is a pivot constraint this allows us to select a new pivot point for the object even though the origin is in the center this will act like a new origin point so for the target it's going to be the empty on the right you also want to make sure that the rotation range is set to the positive y direction so make sure it's positive y and select it we'll add in a new pivot point and it's going to be for the empty on the left side so for the target it's going to be the empty on the left and the rotation range this time is going to be negative y so now what happens is if we select our object and press r and y you can see it's rotating along that point just like that now before we continue creating the book animation here is a quick word from our sponsor once again this video is brought to you by skillshare skillshare is an online learning platform with thousands of classes taught by professionals they have a huge variety of subjects and topics that you'll never run out of things to learn some of the topics include animation illustration graphic design music and they even have a lot of blender classes one class i can recommend is character illustration by gabriel piccolo he goes into depth on the process of creating a character drawing it out on a piece of paper and it's actually really good if you're wanting to get into character design and learning how to draw faces and illustration and things like that this class is perfect with the premium membership you get unlimited access to every single class on their platform this also means that there's going to be no ads and you can study without any interruption i've been using skillshare for a really long time and i can definitely recommend it so here's the deal the first NUMBER_TOKEN people to click the link in the description or the pin comment will get one month of the premium membership for free so what are you waiting for click the link down below and start learning something new today thanks again to skillshare for sponsoring this video now let's get back to the tutorial next up we're going to work on the two covers on each side this is also going to be pretty easy what we're going to first do is select the cover on the right and we want to make sure the origin is right at that empty point so with it selected i'm going to right click set origin and then the origin to the NUMBER_TOKENd cursor let's do the same thing on the other side select this empty press shift
