In addition to the IPO system, there is another simple technique to animate the objects is to create a curve that describes the trajectory of motion of the object. We realize in practice a movement like this by following a certain path to our top. First you must enter the path which is represented by a curve. There position on the "Top" and, with the mouse cursor in the 3D window, enter the menu by pressing the spacebar. For example, add a Bezier Curve (Add> Curve> Bezier Curve). Because the object, in this case the top, closely follows the curve, it is important to approach a point of the object (in this case the tip of the top) at one end of the curve. We can do this by moving the top or the curve and possibly changing view. In this way we obtain the initial position of the movement.
You must establish a relationship between the object and the curve. Switch to Object Mode and select the top first, then hold down the Shift key, also select the curve. Pressing Ctrl + P will show the menu, "Make Parent" pushed to establish the link between the two objects. From this menu, the report "Follow Path" to ensure that the top, in his motion, follow the path represented by the curve.
