I have been trying to get the highlighted flap to fold for a few days. It seems like it would be simple, but it has been very problematic in practice.
The first attempt, a blend shape, did not work. The resulting shape sort of slid across, instead of unfolding.
I tried using joints, but I couldn't get the seam to stay together in the middle, against the wall, and against the awning.
The best results came from a group method. The axis is kind of weird, and I could not get it to properly hold orientation relative to the group. The only way I was able to get the shape to work is by readjusting it and keyframing every few frames.
The Group Method
Best so far
Mentalray is still not working. There has been no reply to my problem in the forum, and that is the only way Autodesk replies to questions (at least with the educational version).
