Waving


#1

Hello,

Now that my character travels the full length of the path I would like to have my character wave on a specific frame. So I go to that frame and bring my characters arm up to wave. When I go to the begining to view the animation it seems my character starts his wave on frame 0. How can I start the wave on a specific frame?

Thanks…

You need to decide what frame the wave begins on and keyframe what is critical on that frame. Then go to where your wave is at its apex and move things as you like (or drop actions, etc). The interpolation for anything begins at exactly where those items were last keyframes- in most cases without anything else being done that will be frame 0.

To fix your problem now, I’d adjust the action. If you didn’t use an action, and the items moved is simple enough- I’d go into the channels window and plop down a few keyframe nodes and drag 'em where they need to be to get the wave out of the early frames.
