Locking and unlocking Bones

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...

Animation Curves

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?

Bone stretch on the timeline

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...

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...

Achieving a "hand animated" look using bones

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 ...

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 ...
