Hi,
I'm working on a school assignment where i have to make and animate a 3D logo.
So what I have here is a modeled macbook with like 60+ buttons and ports made according to its original design, as well the screen with a fake image. Everything here I did I used architectural and arch mental ray as textures.
The 2 laptop panels (upper and lower) are IK'ed with bones, it's made so it's easy to stimulate realistic joint effects. Every single object is linked in some way.
as well i have a reactor water object made linked to a plane
so what I wanna ask is, how can i join all the laptop objects into one so that I can assign them a mass and not fall apart when dropped (the thing won't even allow me to create a rigid body, it says error..Help)?
thanks
