hey, I'm trying to work with this ffdbox controller modifier, and I can animate them, but I cant seem to edit the out of range curve types (so they repeat forever), or at least they're having no affect. I haven't really animated with these controllers before. I've moved the control points all about the place for 25 frames, and I want to loop that. but I tryed going into the curve editor and selecting them all and the out of range thingy isnt having any affect. Theres an "Animate All" button in the modifier panel "control objects".. which ive tryed pressing... the keyframes are blue if that helps anyone in their reply. can anyone help?

Hi Jet,
Seems to work fine here. I animated 2 control points from an 'ffd box' with 2x2x2 points. Then in TrackView/CE I selected each of the tracks for the 2 animated points and did the usual 'out of range types' loop. It looped as expected.
This was max 4.2 but i wouldn't have thought that discreet would have killed that feature for any reason.

Cheers,
phil

hi phil, Hmm thats strange because it certianly isnt working properly on my file. Perhaps i did something wrong. But thanks for clarifying that it is the correct procedure. I'll have to play around a bit more I'd say. Cheers!
