Adding objects

Matthew_H · #1 11-02-2004, 19:49

How do we insert objects in the middle of the timeframe of our animation? We are trying to make light projectiles come out of an object.

turn off animate, insert your object, turn animate back on.

You might consider inserting the object at the beginning of the timeframe and scaling to '0' until you actually need it to appear, then change the scale and you are set.

Hope this helps....

Could you go a bit more in depth on 'appear'? Are you looking for it to fade in, pop up, slide in, etc.

If you were to look at our animation you would all the sudden see the object that we are looking at.

Animate the visibility track of the object.

Move your object to where you want it and then change your tangeants to step and it will appear at that frame.
