Hello,
I'm looking for some suggestions on repeating a set of key frames some how.
I uploaded a video titled "C2 Animation" to the files section.
Here's the problem:
I'm creating an animation of a machine with a conveyor chain (like a
bicycle chain but wide like a conveyor and colored red....see uploaded
animation), I have animated every link in the chain with key frames but the
links only move 1 full link length. Now in the past I would have used the
REPEAT command but that is broken in C3, my alternative would be to use the
oscillate tweener but that limits me to only 20 cycles so in reality my
chain would only move 21 link lengths. Does anyone have any ideas on a work
around for that?
One other problem, if you use the oscillate tweener between 2 key frames
lets say you have a key at 1 second and another at 4 seconds and you set
that to oscillate 20 times. Now you have another object that you want timed
with the first one but the key frames are between 2 seconds and 3 seconds.
How do you get those two objects to repeat 50 cycles in time with one
another with out using REPEAT (since it is broken)? Correct me if I am
wrong but the oscillate tweener won't work here either because the key
frames of the two objects aren't starting or ending at the same time.
Thank you
