problem with the nohan_beta file

redownload here!

About 12 people in the friday night class mentioned the left arm wouldn't animate in the file I assembled for you all, so everyone solved it by not using the referencing pipeline and just animating the model directly.

Next time, and this goes for anyone in the tuesday class, please let me know!

The reason the arm wouldn't accept keys was because in the beta.ma file, there was a key set. If you have a key set and then reference that scene in, it won't accept new keys (unless you right click on those channels and break connections)

My hope was to be able to, once the animation was finished, to be able to adjust the lighting and texturing in the set and actor files and render it out for presentation...this is the heart of most referencing pipelines, so one change propogates globally.

More importantly, if you're having trouble with a file, post questions to the blog!!! Or email me, and I'll do my best to help you out. Chances are if you're having trouble, 18 other people are too.

  1. yeah! This happened to me when I was doing the robot assignment. But, I figured that out. So didn't think it was much of a problem.

  2. guilty! Didn't let you know on time :( Will surely inform in future if there are any issues.

    I referenced the model and used IK arms (IK was keyable).
