Sphereman wheels

A little summer exercise in animating a sphere (the whole wip is on the french forum)
The animations are all done without keyframes, this is all xpresso with a "one-slider" setup using the range-mapper node. See the xpresso part of the site for some range-mapper fun.

Most of this animation is done with the rangemapper. See the range mapper fun TUT for all the ins and outs. Some basic tutorials should be known, like the User Data Tut.
