Hey it's me again! Perhaps I can make a fresh start and actually offer some of my advice for people who need it.

I'm stuck with that Rigged_Doll model. I can animate it fine in the viewport, but when it comes to using it as an output file it doesn't remember the key postitions. Any reasons why?

Please.

I can help you.

Do you mean this object: Objects---->Primitives---->Figure ?

When I try to animate him, it don't remembers the key that I have set. Is this what you mean?

I want to know this too.

BTW i'm using the DEMO version, maybe it's something to do with that???

bobtronic. yes I mean your doll.

It's very weird. I'm using your doll as better means to understanding rigged characters. I thank you for giving it away.

But. Whenever I set up keyframes and record them, the animation plays fine in the perp-view. But when you set to Render and output, it basically won't render those frames.

I was thinking, either you set it up to do that, or I'm over looking something simple.

:hmm:

Do you mean it renders only a single frame or is
there nothing to see in the output. If it only renders
a single frame than you have to set the range of
your animation frames in the render settings.

Rendersettings->Output->Frames (from-to)

hope this helps

No no. I understand all the output stuff.

What it seems to do is generate it's own camera. Which seems to be placed Top Right of the Doll.

The output is then Still and also doesn't move in relation to the camera I choose. I was wondering if it was something in the Expressions.??? :surprised

Ok I've tried to reproduce your problem but no
problems here. The right top camera is the editor
camera and not affected by the expressions.
I've also tried if it is a file corruption but the file
I uploaded is ok. Maybe I don't understand your
problem right. I can animate and render without
problem here. Unfortunatly I couldn't provide you
a new file - only C4D R8 demo at hand.
