I was trying to rig a Rubik's cube when I discovered that an object cannot have more than one parent.  How can I allow a tile to be controlled by multiple centers, and how can I transfer control when it shifts?

Hi there Jonathan, bin fan of your courses!

In the last few weeks. I have absolved many of wayne Dixons animation courses and was really fond of the many exercises we had to provide. For example the animation bootcamp: https://cgcookie.com/course/animation-bootcamp

There are so many exercises I had to hand in <3

I am a kinda lazy guy and don't tend to do extra exercises if there is no "gamification" incentive. I love completing my CGCookie courses 100%. So I handed in all of his exercises and learned a ton.

Long story short. I would love to see you incorporate more of those brilliant exercise-type formats the CGCookie platform is providing. For example your suggested  "Light the Bedroom - Create a Sunset Vibe" exercise would be perfect for this.

Keep it up. I am learning a lot, you have a perfect teaching style. Just add more exercises pleeeease for extra motivation <3 <3

You don't have to grade those or anything. Let the community do the grading. I and sure others also benefit from having the pressure to upload  something to get 100% for the courses.

Tried to make an AT-AT with primitives following along with the first course challenge. I'm really looking forward to learning more and improving!

Where can I finde the Squash and Strech Blend file? Where is the root of the course?

please any tutorial for this rig?

it looks soo good !!
