      Hello Dr.
      First I wanna express how much your role and contribution is just amazing, and it helps every time to solve problems and stick with C4d as a solution. Basically you are one of the reasons why I don't want to migrate to any 3d package

      I have a simple question regarding hinge connectors, in the example, I wanna the book "covers" to react to the B_BOOK animation, I tried constraints to lock the movement so the hinge can play when the main controller B_BOOK spin, rotate and move.

      I am very newbie to using connectors in general, maybe it is the first time I'm playing with them, if you have any recommendations or ideas to make this simple dynamic book rig better, I will be all ears

      Best regards

        Thank you very much for the kind feedback, resort-sand!

        Thanks for the file!

        Please have a look here:

        I have added a Cube that works in each connector as the "stable" part.

        Is that working for you? I'm sure you will find a better setting for the
        Connector> Object> Object Properties> Angular Limit (From; To)

        Enjoy your weekend
