Ok, say you have a null controlling something and you have it doing some kind of movement for a few frames on the heading that you set to Repeat. Is there anyway to use the repeat for a part of the animation? I want to slow the movement down at some point and control it, not just have it repeating forever.
Thanks Mark |

That's funny you said that, I just tried that not knowing what would happen, actually I selected the three keyframes and then selected "Bake Selected Curves" then it applied about 1,000 keyframes to the repeated curve (my animation is at 600 frames at this point) Then I jumped back over here.
No undo in the Graph Editor. BRB Damn, I just deleated all those keyframes and LW crashed. Ouch. Ok, back to the ole' drawing board.... |

Sasoo,
I tried hitting Ctrl+RMB and it didn't seem to do anything but turn the pointer to an arrow with a + sign. No effect on the keys or the curve. The only thing I see for surface baking is in the Keys menu - "Bake Selected Curves" If I do that, it gives me a million keyframes on the rest of the curve. |

Ok, I think I got it. I selected 2 of the keys, Ctrl+RMB and dragged the 2 keys where I wanted them, so I just have to repeat this....
The idea is getting keys in all the places the repeat acts in order to have control of it....I think "I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-A-R-T!" -Homer J Simpson |
