Re: Maya Graph Editor and Game Animation
I dont use the pre and post infinity curves for cycling animations. You can set your range slider to the length of your looping animation with the first and last frame identical. If the character moves in space, I parent (or parent constrain) the camera to the root, so that it seems to walk in place, for adjusting the… -
Re: Maya Graph Editor and Game Animation
Most of work is one animation per file. This helps when working on a team, since people can't work on the same file at the same time. For animations that don't cycle I'll put a few in the same file. (Attack Anims, Death Anims). antweiler, I use pre/post infinity curves all the time in cycling animations. In 3ds Max they… -
Maya Graph Editor and Game Animation

Re: Maya Graph Editor and Game Animation

Re: Maya Graph Editor and Game Animation
Thanks guys, she really appreciates your feedback, and she's forging ahead. She'll be sure to drop in and say thanks as soon as her account is ready :) P.S. love the wiggling boxes, they are pretty humorous to look at, out of context! -

Hi Denny, Sorry for the delay, that's a great idea, I'll put some time into a script like that for my wife, thanks! -
Re: Maya Graph Editor and Game Animation
how did you use it to create lag? I thought it would be the same regardless of which method you use?
