adjusting timeline and animate2

jackwolf747

Hey there,

first of all i really appreciate how fast you guys reply to my questions

Now i'm trying to edit a certain part in my animation (timeline), its about 5 seconds so lots of frames to deal with

i'm using a set of animation so as my gensis is running i want him to turn around and check the surrounding but i cant select the set of frame i want him to twist his head in

so long story short i want to twist his head to look right in around second 3 and turn back around second 5, do i have to go through every single frame and twist it?

I have yet to try using Animate2, but I use the Timeline for dForce simulation almost exclusively.

What I do is set a Key Frame along the timeline to set a starting point for a change. Then I move up the timeline to where I want the change to be complete and make my change. In your case, I'd suggest setting the Key Frame at the point where you want the head to start moving and where you want it to be looking forward again. Then go to the frame in between where you want him to be turned the most and change the pose here.

However, I have no idea if you can do that in Animate2. It's just how I would handle the default Timeline in a dForce simulation.

Good luck.

And hopefully someone who uses Animate2 will see this thread and jump in with specific help.

thank you so much for the tip L'Adair 

i tried that but it goes for one frame, i've been looking around and found that if i did what you say and delete all the frame in between for the head only

it will do the job

Whatever works, right?

I need to take the time to learn Animate2. I picked up keyMate and graphMate last November in a Black Friday-esque sale, but I still haven't done any more than input the serial number for Animate2. Even retired, there just aren't enough hours in a day!

L'Adair is there any videos that you watch to learn animate2?

I haven't tried to learn animate2, yet.

I did a quick search of Youtube via Google, though. Here's a link to the results for "site:youtube.com animate2"
