rotate a 3d object from tail instead of center position

hi @Joyrider, dummy looks interesting and works. thanks! However, why you recommend to change the pivot point's position programmatically? Better for maintenance ?

Not programmatically. Through your modeling "program", i.e, Blender, $$anonymous$$aya etc.

Good, concise answer btw. Up-voted.

Indeed, like Sajidfarooq specified, this should be done in your modeling program. Your objects' pivot point should always be placed at a strategic position, depending on your object's use.

Often, you should just think of the real object's mechanics, and place it at a hinge or, lack there of, a usefull referential point.

got it. either the gun has placed in the correct relative location in 3d modeling software, or just have it placed under the dummy such as hinge or joint. thank you!

Any answer here that doesn't mention
