I just animated a chopper, it took me 3 hours to get it right. The chopper is not on a path, since I'm doing a difficult manuever.
However, I animated the chopper for the time being , using another chopper. Finally I got myself a highres chopper, but can't find a way to substitute the chopper, so I won't need to animate it all over. I tried merging with same name, (while deleting Old-Option) and no luck. In 3dstudioVIZ4 there's a command called Substitute, and I even tried that, no luck again.
I'm running out of options.
I also tried creating the trajectory, but it creates too many paths, since the chopper is a grouped element, it created trajectory for all elements, including the rotating blades(which is cool by the way)
But seriously, I need to either try to create a script or something, so I can make the high res chopper use same key-animated animation.
Any help is appreciated.
