there is 1 thing i miss in DeleD: when you wanna rotate a joint, you can only do that with the mouse. but with very accurate timing, i would also like to be able to fill in like: 360 degress, or maybe even 720 degrees (for a double loop) is this already implemented? if not, plz? its the only thing i miss!

I agree. There should be a way to manually enter an angle. Smile

yeah, like, if you wanna have real accurate timing and you only use 39 frames because else it won;t look like its spinning, and then it just makes a little, little twitch u can't fix cuz you can;t enter angle manually Sad

What i always do:

if you have 39 frames, 40 FPS, 360/40 = 9
first make a keyframe on the first frame on teh standard position
on the 39 keyframe, rotate it 351 degrees
then it jumps to the first frame, so it looks like its smoothly spinning
but i have to guess now since i can't manually enter the anglez Sad

and thx Jeroen!

Sure you can do a 360 degree spin. 3ds Max allows you to animate a controller up to 720 degrees between two keyframes if you want. Typically, you'll do this in track view, because most applications don't have a good 3D gui for those kinds of values.
