Hello.

As the title say how can I place different animations into just 1 time line?

If I have 1 walk, 1 run, 1 jump all from frame 1 to frame 24 in different files and I need lets say walk from frame 1 to 24 and run from frame 31 to 54 and jump from frame 61 to 84.....is it possible to do without going through a nightmare of copy and paste?

Thanks all in advance for any help you can provide.

    what sort of rig are you using? CAT and biped both allow for animation blending. If you have raw BVH files you can import them into one of these systems.

    Yeah, there is probably an easy solution we can give you as soon as we know what software you are using. :)

    3dsmax Biped? Use motion mixer.
    3dsmax CAT? Use animation layers.
    3dsmax PuppetShop? Use the layer mixer.
    3dsmax custom rig? Save animations and load but don't overwrite, or use Motion Mixer on the selction of bones.

    Maya HumanIK? Use the layer system in HIK.
    Maya standard rig? You can kind of use the trax editor... kind of...

    Motion Builder? Motion builder layers.
