adding to animation / offsetting

[misterdi]

Let see, you select from your channel box rotateY, and put value 45 in Relative Numeric field, it will add rotateX + 45 degrees not the rotateY isn't it.

Why don't you try to put "0 45 0" in that field and see what is happening.

BTW: if you want to offset the whole rotateY animation by 45 degrees, isn't it easier using the graph editor.

Select all your keyframe on rotateY curve, and put +=45 in the value box, all keyframe on that curve should get increased in value 45.

What happened is, when you select rotateY in channel box, one information pass to Maya is you switching context to rotate context (you could see the manipulator change to rotate manipulator). But since rotation is a vector, when you type in on the Relative Numeric field you need to type in 3 value, which is x, y, and z. That is why, when you type in 45 only it will pass the 45 to first component of vector which is rotate.x. When you type in 0 45 0, it will pass 0 to x, 45 to y, 0 to z.

Glad that helps you.
