There is a problem with this technique. You are making copies of the entire animation poses that you have stored in the first keyframes of the time (frames 2 and 4 of the sample) and therefore you have made copies of all the other objects existing in the scene (following the example, the eyeball).
- Is this true? You only make copies of any waypoints that happen to exist at that particular frame I thought? dooglus 21:04, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
- It is true. Keyframe duplication affects all the existing objects of the scene even if they don't have any waypoints at the duplicated keyframe. See this file. There are two circles. The red one has its own animation at frames 12f, 1s and 2s. The black circle has its own animation at 0f, 1f and 12 f. If you go to frame 2s12f for example and duplicate the keyframe at frame 1 (called "black up") you will see that the red circle goes to the position it has at frame 1 although it doesn't have any waypoint there.--Genete 05:00, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
