Hi Guys!

I would like to ask from everybody , How can I do the repeating procedure of cycle actions with keyframe offset in the choreography? blink.gif
Becausi I want to apply the follow through principle on my cycle actions!

Please write me your solutions or ideas!

Thanks,

Hi Sharky:

Here's what I like to do.

Make your action as usual.

Take the channel you want to offset, let's say you want to move it 1 frame later.

Go to the second-to-last frame and set a key. Delete the last frame.

Move all frames in the channel forward by one.

Copy the last keyframe (which was the second-to-last, i.e. the one you just made) and paste it at the first frame of your action.

Now you're offset but still repeating for that channel. Do the same for all the other channels you need to offset.

Hope that helps.

Hi ZachBG!

Sorry, I don't understand this word: second-to-last.
What does it mean? blink.gif
Please write it with simple words for me!

Thanks!
