Hi there,

I have got an object which is a ball, rolling into a box, the box then moves across the room for the last 20 frames, while the ball is stationary, but the ball is still spinning, and i want it to stop when it hits the box, i used the repeat option in the graph editor, but obvioulsy not the correct option, has anyone any idea how i can fix this?

thanks

edd

Sounds like you needs to add in some physics, but I don't think i really understand what your saying, any pics of it to get a visualization?

Here is an image of the ball & box.

The ball comes in from the left, then hits the box, the box the moves away to the right, while the ball stays in the same place.
The problem is the ball keeps rotating round & round, i used the repeat option in graph editor

Ok,,,, i am thinking about this,,, so far i dont think you can stop a repeat after a few frames,,,,,, even if you were to key it and set other stuff to it.... The previous stuff will be like Lenier.... Sorry my spelling.. Ok,,, i suggest turn off the repeat stuff,, and go with the manual keyframing stuff.... go to the frame,,,,, set the rotation,,, say 860 deg on the bank ... and watch it turn till that frame.
