Hi :)

I have two little questions:

1. I want to have two persons in the window, so that i can adjust them together, and that they work together ? I know how i can have two persons in it, but they are starting at the same point and i cant move one of them a bit forward without moving all body parts.

2. When im ready with my animation i want that in the last frame ist the same as in the second frame, so that the person are moving to the original position, so that i can loop the animation. How can i do that ? Have i to copy all numbers of each body part of the second frame to the body parts of the last frame ?


sorry for bad english

For both of these use the Animation Palette. Go to the Window menu and select Animation Palette. For the second question, note that you can copy and paste keyframes in this view.

As for the first question, note that listed on the left side are all the body parts for each character; the first item should just be the overall body. Select that and edit the numbers to move the entire figure.

Load both figures and in the upper left of the main window you will see "Figure 1 or 2". Use the smal down arrow to open the dialog and select the figure you want to edit.

Pose Dots are your friend. Select your first frame, actually the second frame and select the figure. Click on an empty pose dot and it will save the pose of that figure to that dot. Go to the last frame and click that dot again and it will set that pose to the figure. In the default view you may have UI dots shown, just click the little down arrow to select the pose dots.

ok, thank you :)

i have another problem:

First what i want:

I want that the leg is moving up and is up at frame 30.
At frame 60 it must be down (the riginal position).

That works.

But i want, that the arm is moving up and he must be up at frame 15 and must be down (original position) at frame 30, too.

This doenst work ;)

Can anybody explain how i can do that ?
I tried to set keys and layers, but i doesnt reach that what i want.
Everytime the arm is moving up to frame 15 and goes down until its reached frame 60.
