Setting positional keyframes on individual vertices?

[lowkey]

find initial position -> set key
move on forward in time
move to desired position -> set key

hit play! :thumbsup:

Must I be in component mode? Where do I, "Find initial Position"?

I have looked everywhere but cannot find a way to set keyframes on individual vertices.

If I am in component mode I can set keys on the CV's postition in the channel box. But if I do that and play the animation back it seems to behave in a very unpredictable manner.

Also how would you go about setting keyframes on lattice points.

Please explain in the most basic terms as I am stumped.

Thanks again,

OK, I can fix the animation in the Graph Editor but surely this can't be the right way.

Let me know...

OK, I have got the lattice pionts working properly. But Vertices are still missbehaiving themselves. :(

well, i really don't see where your problem is? :shrug:

for me it works like this:

1. switch to component-mode (F9)
2. select vertex
3. set key
-> press 's' or select the channels you want to animate in the
channel-box then right click -> key selected
4. go to a different frame e.g. frame 60
5. move the vertex of choice to a new position
6. repeat step 3.

good luck!
