Biped - Separate XYZ Tracks

SyaPed · Jul 2011

Okay this is probably something simple but I cannot figure it out. I'm animating with Biped and when I key a bone it creates keys on all the axes, xy and z, even if I've only moved it along one. How can I separate the axes so they don't all have to share the same keys?

Thanks!

i dont think its possible. Biped does't work in Eular space, its all done in Quartonians.

Yep, even when you're interacting with what look like Eular curves and its set to Eular mode, its still operating in Quaternion. Which means you can't drag a X key past Y or Z. It's one of the last major disadvantages that haven't been swept away. For some people its a deal breaker, and those people normally move onto other rigs like puppetshop or CAT.

FYI, this happens on any euler controller...not just Biped.

Wrath, do you mean Quaternion (TCB) controllers?

Isn't Eular the default for all objects like boxes, dummies and bones? Last time I checked (a min ago) you could drag X position/rotation/scale keys past Y and Z on any of those objects?
