ah, ok. cheers guys

yes i am aware of that keys, breakdowns and finally inbetweens. so are you saying to apply the lock to the bone after it is keyed out?

I am working on a shot of a character pushing a large door open. I am animating a walk cycle using the lock bone function to help make his feet look like they make contact with the floor. to make the movement work i am moving the legs to the respective place to that when i turn off the "lock bo...

Hopefully a simple question and answer...

I want more control over my animation curves than simply selecting the "ease in/out" option for the keys.

Is there a way to alter the curve with more control in the graph editor i.e handles either side of each key? on each key?

great. i hoped it would be something as simple as that. feel a bit stupid having not checked that already :O)

Hi everyone. Been doing some animation and using the bone stretching function quite a bit and also on other shots things like roation on a 3d plane. I may be being blind but where do the keys for this movements appear as when refining the movements there seems to be nothing to physically move around...

p.s how does the "lock bone" check box work? i know it can come in hand for walk cycles being able to fix the feet to the ground but it never seems to lock!?

Hi guys, afraid I have another little animation feight to over come. I have an image of a flag, rectangle, and i need to make it look like its blowing in the wind. I expected to be able to use bones to warp it but am having no luck.- -The point at which the flag is joined to the flag pole will not l...

haha. yes it was more about getting rif of the slickness. My characters are all done in a cut out style using images made in photoshop, almost in sillouette. Im not sure if anyone is familiar with the short film called the Geographical Explorations of Jasper Morello- but thats the sort of style anim...

i had the same thing. to save deleting etc you can just open up the project settings screen and hit enter. seems to trigger the sound file on the timeline again... odd though

I am experimenting with the settings for the key frames and have am trying out "Noisy Interpolation" to try and get a less uniform movement. I cant for the life of me work out how the settings work! i.e what does changing the AMPLITUDE do and what does changing the SCALE do and how do they...

ok thanks everyone.

Hi guys, For the film i am animating at the moment I want to try and achieve a hand animated look with the movement instead of the "perfect" computer tweening look you get as a default with digital animation. I know there is a function in After effects which allows you to offset keyframes ...

ahhh. that makes a lot of sense because thats what i had found but wasnt sure if it was down to something else. Thanks alot!... again

Thanks for the quick replies. I cant find how to upload images to my post? I think I have sorted the problem with the white ring/halo around the objects by exporting as a .swf file rather than the .png. However now im doing this certain images missing when rendering out now unless they are assigned ...
