Hello, sir. I have learnt some basic animation in blender and I have learnt how to rig wheels and joints. What should I do in blender to make it into a robot that I can launch in AMBF? How do I control it in AMBF? Is it enough if I simply parent appropriate basic meshes? If so, how do I control it in AMBF?
Please help me, sir.
Sincerely,
Shyam.

Hello Shyam,

AMBF has a Blender ambf_addon to load, create and save robots. Please go through the documentation and video tutorials which should help you. Once you have the robot imported inside AMBF, you can use the Python client to control it. There are also a few additional examples on the Wiki page on controlling different robots using the Python client.

Thank you for your quick response, sir.
I want to build my own model in blender, sir. Can you guide me on how to learn that, sir?
I read the README file, but didn't check out the wiki page, sir. Thank you for that one, sir.

Sincerely,
Shyam.
