[Trying to do a animation of rain drops]

Hi,

I'm trying to simulate a small rain storm. Right now I'm just trying to get 2 raindrops to stat6 falling at diffent times.

I have a image called big rain drop and small raindrop.

my idear was to have 4 keyframes that would

key frame 1-start big rain drop animtion

key frame 2-start small rain drop animtion

key frame 3 stop big rain drop animtion

key frame 4 stop small rain drop animtion

so i want the big rain drop to tween between keyframes 1 and 3

and have the small rain drop tween between frames 2 and 4.

No matter what I did it would not work. I also tried to add the small rain drop to frme 2, then drag and drop from the object pallett, but it would not drah the object the curser turn to a circle with a line through it whjen I dragged it over the screen.

It seems like all the tweens share the same time line, is what II'm trying to do possable on your software???

Hi,

I have a animtion with 2 key frames, (1 and 2). When I ad new objects after I added the second key frame, they will not tween from frame 1 to 2, but only from frame 2,1. This is what I do

1. add a new image

2. copy it

3. paste it to all keyframes

4. chnage the postion of the object on key frame 2.

5. the object tweens between 2 and 1, but not from 1 to 2.

HOW CAN I GET IT SO IT TWEEN TO THE NEW POSTION FROM FRAME 1 TO 2????

[Trybg to add new images after there is more then 1 frame]

Hi,

I am animation dinsores using the bones. Everything works fine if I add all the parts before I add a key frame. If I have 2 or more keyframes and I try to add another image attach to a bone, it does not work.

This is what I’m doing

(the time line is 1000 units whide and has 2 keyframes)

1. add a graphic image(of a dinasore leg) and a bone ontop of it. Add the image to the bode.

2. Copy leg image and bone, then do a paset tp all key frames

3. Run it, fine but no animation.

4. Rotate the bone on the first frame

5. Runs fine

6. Ok I need the leg’s end rotion on the second frame to be a little higher. Rotate the bone on the 2 2nd frame down a little

7. Now the animation is jerkey. It rotaes the leg to the old postion right before it hits frame 2. When it gets to frame 2 the animation jumps down to the new rotaion I have it. It will not animate fram frame 1 to 2 using the value I put in.
