Object rotation constraint

Recommended Posts

Hello! 

Very new to houdini, so i'm trying out some flip and RBD(bullet) interaction on a waterwheel i've modeled. 

I'm trying to contraint the waterwheel to rotate in the X axis, otherwise frozen in place. 
I've tried to cone twist constraint, but it keeps bouncing back and forth, am i using the wrong constraint here?

I've solved the constraint problem with a hinge constraint with a goal object (a box behind the object im spinning)

The length settings in the Hinge constraint should be equal to the width of the spinning wheel. 

Also it was important to set the right weight in the RBD object so that it behaved like expected. If not i got some weird interaction with the FLIP solver i sent at it.
