hey all, i am in the process of animating and i have a couple of questions. i apologize for the multiple questions, but i really have to start working with some sort of efficiency now that the end of my semester is approaching.
the first one is: if i were to create a clip that will animate most of the body, is it acceptable to animate things like the fingers outside(or on top of) the clip, or should that be done within the clip? if this is ok, are there any things that need to be done so that this works smoothly(i haven't used clips before)?
also, is it good practice to combine the use of clips and keys, or should it be one or the other,not both?
thirdly: if the combination of clips and keys is advisable, is there a way to ensure that there is smooth transitions from clips to keys, or vise versa.
i would really appreciate any advice you guys could shed on these subjects, thank you so much in advance.
cheers
