Dancing Robot

So. It has a Head, Arm, and Leg component. OK. This has been as interesting as I have seen yet I think. It starts me to thinking.

BUT...questions

(1) Why is it all based on a Cube scene, then the cube scene placed in each scene, rather than simply starting with a cube.obj in the Main scene for each body part?
(2) In the Main scene, there is a Leg module, which is a call to a scene (??). Why can't I see any Leg scene? I found it by asking to go to Leg scene, but until that it was invisible.

EDIT: wha....I reopened the fiel and the leg scene was there.

As usual, TFAH

1) This is a demo file remember. It is possibly demonstrating using scenes within scenes. The limbs are in separate scenes for two reasons as far as I can tell, a) because they are reused (two times each) in the main scene and, b) the relocation of the anchor-point (centre of rotation) is done in the sub-scene. Of course one could have done all this in just one scene but that one scene would have been much more complicated and the various elements could not be used in other scenes (i.e. lots of different robots).

2) You probably clicked x on the tab and didn't have the folder view open. You can get rid of the x via the right click menu. I wouldn't be without the folder panel open all the time.
