View Full Version : Maya keyframing trouble.

Ok, this is an extreme noob question, but I can't figure this out and I'm starting to get a little frustrated. I'm working with Maya Dynamics, and after applying a gravity field to an object, I am no longer able to keyframe it. I have a bunch of boxes stacked up, and I want to pull the bottom box out from under the others. I press S on the keyboard to keyframe, and then I jump forward a few frames to keyframe again, but I cannot move my object. I do not have this problem with the rigid body base that the boxes sit on, nor do I have this problem with normal polygonal models. Are objects with gravity fields applied to them not able to keyframe different positions? I also have this problem when I try to autokeyframe, or right click in the slider and set a keyframe.

What am I doing wrong?

If I`m not wrong you have to set Passive Key.

"Setting a passive key switches control from dynamics to Translate and Rotate keys."

Obviously you can always try to add new transform node to the object.
