Im animating in CS4 (at a friends studio so im kind of new to it)

Thing is: Everything works nice. Except i get some strange wobbles in the body of my character, and i dont know why?
It looks like he has eaten something which disagrees with him, because hes stomach "wobbles"

Its like CS goes from -100 to 100 in a few frames when its interpolating between 50 and 60.
(that is 50 -> -100 ->100 ->60)
So the resulting frame is what i wanted but the interpolation is strange.
This is not consistent it happens now and then. im thinking maybe its my skinning, or something ive forgotten to press.
Please help me guys!

Seems like someone posted this same problem at the discreet forum in the CS4 section. Sorry, I don't know the answer, but take a look over there. I'm pretty sure someone posted it, anyway.

Are you using physique? Sounds like a skinning issue. Try rebinding the stomach vertices to a different bone, ie. not one of the hip bones.

Physique use deforming splines to determine how the vertices will behave. They tend to misbehave where the legs meet the body.

Yeah im using physique.
The thing is the head wobbled too before, and its not even supposed to deform!!

Damn, i was hoping someone would go "oh you havent seen the turn off wobble button?" :annoyed: ;)

OK. Ive found the bad guy. The lowest part of the spine was rotating, and once i cleared its keys i got rid of all the wobbles.
My guess is that it had some other rotation registered.
or something. Well im happy it was just ONE bone causing stuff this time.
