Do it by hand. Create null in center of Planet.
Call it Parent_Mom. Create Volume Previz Torus Helper. Create Asteroid in Origin. Create Null. Name Null Asteroid_P001. Parent Asteroid to Asteroid_P001. Animate Asteroid Rotation (its tumbling) in Origin. Snap Asteroid_P001 to Torus. Parent Asteroid_P001 to Parent_Mom. Duplicate Asteroid_P001, resulting in Asteroid_P002. Snap Asteroid_P002 to Torus. Create Null, call it Parent_Spin. Parent Parent_Mom to Parent_Spin. Animate Rotation (Y) of Parent_Spin. Create Null, name it Parent_Dad. Name Planet Forever21Planet, parent Forever21 and Parent_Spin to Parent_Dad. Duplicate Asteroid_P002 as often as you need and snap to Torus. Duplicate Parent_Spin, rename Parent_Spin_faster. Adjust Animation to spin faster. Delete any Asteroids you don“t like, offset animations where neccessary or desired. Rinse, repeat. Play. On 11.02.2014 20:23, Matt Lind wrote:
