This video is part 1 of 3 showing the use for BoosterLink.
BoosterLink provides a very simple but powerful functionality. It sounds clichéd these days, but this one lives up to its promise. BoosterLink lets us to get objects to behave automatically based on another objects behaviours. Sounds vague? It kind of is! But I think it will get more obvious after watching the video.
If you’re new to 3D Animation or just LightWave 3D, I would recommend getting to know and understand this Motion Modifier Tool before any others; because it combines or consolidates a lot of the control that was previously only available by using mulitple modifiers and/or custom expressions (yuck!).
Most of its functionality can be accessed through the viewport alone, which saves you need to contend with extra panels like the Graph Editor or new plugin Interfaces (in the next videos we will look at another way of using BoosterLink through the Graph Editor).

I’ll replace the archive with a *.rar version when I get a chance guys (zip was created with latest update to WinZIP if that helps…)
