Rigged Characters Not Animating!

#1

Hello,
I am a beginner with Maya so if there is an obvious solution to this problem, please bear with me. I recently downloaded some pre-rigged characters for inclusion with a website project. However, whenever I attempt to animate the character, nothing happens. I pose the character properly moving the IK handles, I rememberto set the key in the timeline, but still, no movement is animated. I even reopened that simple tennis ball animation that is included with the Getting Started training PDF and still zip.

Can anyone suggest anything? Is there something to adjust under Preferences? I’m under a deadline and this is more than worrying.

Thanks in advance,
ximenao

What do you see if you do the following?

create just a simple default shape.

set to the first frame in your timeline and hit the ‘s’ key to ‘key all’.

move the timeline slider to 10 and also move the shape and hit ‘s’ again.

Do you see red key lines on your timeline? If you hit play does the shape move?
