Hi all,

Everybody says version 4.12 has [an animation curve editor]above functionality and you do not need any plugin, but I can not find it. You can not make even basic animations without curve editor. Ok, you can - terrible ones. So, where is [] thing if it exists?

    It's part of the Timeline, though ti may be collapsed in your view - if resizing the Timeline pane doesn't show it look along the bar at the bottom - there may be a  show/hide toggle at the mid-point.

    I couldn't find it either, until Richard explained it in another thread. Here are some screenshot to help.

    Thanks for prompt answers guys, I would never guess it myself. But I have another question if I may: that thing appears empty - can not add keys to it. I rezzed G3 figure, added several keys in timeline, but curve editor does not show them. What I am doing wrong?

    Are you selecting the properties with the keys in the "Dope sheet" - the area above the curve window but below the main play track?

    I do it this way: there is timeline window and inside I see my figure, for example "Genesis 3 Female". When I move time slider to some frame and then move some part of model there automatically appears a key. I can expand down genesis 3 female, silect different parts of it, select keys, copy or delete them from timeline, but whatever I do area below (curve editor) stays empty. It has 2 buttons in upper right corner and both are inactive. When I rightclick inside window it says "No selection".

    Are you actually clicking on the property  name on the left?
