ok ok ok ok ok i'll read it i've already did all the lessons up to the girraffe lesson so yea... oh and i read through the whole book.

OK sure...wait...TOAM? oh, and for the "free models" link on the hash homepage, when you download it and it opens up in WinZip, how do you save it on hash and use it?

ok its posted so what now?

Here ye go![attachmentid=14697] Crabbymovie.zip

umm...how do u make it a zip?

i tried adding the file but it said "Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload a file with that file extension."

...?

Ok...now i bet u guys are "aw, forget this kid, he's helpless " but i need help! Like is said, i'm a noobie at this and did all the lessons in the book up to the girrafe lesson. I don't know what most of the buttons on animation master do and how to use them. I'm 13 years, in 7th grade, wanna become an animator, and have a really short attention span. Other than learning animation, i have to learn social studies, math, science, english, art, and also sports. PLEASE be patient with me and understand that it could take a long time before i completly understand all of this.... ...Can we please start over cuz i forgot almost everything...sorry...ok i need to know how to work "force keyframe" and also when the path ends at 00:07:00 and i add frames up to 00:07:25, the path starts when i want it too and then doesn't end at 00:07:00 but at 00:07:25. Please also include WHY this happens because like i already said, my dream is to become an animator! THX!

but what do you want me to post?

OK! I'M CONFUSED!!! I'M DONE WITH MY SCIENCE FAIR BUT NOW I DONNO WHAT TO DO!!! ...sorry...i need to control myself...

but the tutorials don't show me all the buttons and what they do...or maybe since i'm a 13 year old 7th grader, my attenion isn't that great...oh and if this helps i have version 10.5 cause my mom got it for me 2 years ago on X-mas and then i lost the cd and now i found it and i started screaming and all happy and all and yeah... can some1 answer my question...i'll buy that stuff lata but i needa know how to do this first...

ok ok ok......

ok i got it what do i do now?[attachmentid=14513]

where is the path constraint?

ok...umm... here i'll give you a pic and tell me what to do... [attachmentid=14509]

How do i do that?

No, i mean the problem is that when i add more frames, the slower crabby walks. Like i was at 00:07:00 and added more frames untill it was 00:07:10. Before i added the frames, crabby got to the direction i wanted him to get to at 00:07:00, but when i added more frames, he got to the spot where i wanted to but it took him 00:07:10. and where do you find the ease thing? http://h1.ripway.com/FlyingMonkieBoy/dude.bmp

But i donno how to find a keyframe on the timeline and how do i make him stop walking on frame 00:07:00?!?!?!?!

???

Ok u know how i'm a noob and all??? What does all the btw and whatever mean? Oh and i made an action for his walking thing, and in the chor. i made a path for crabby to walk and did all the stuff and the hand thing and so the walk is supposed to stop at frame 00:07:00 so he can wave but when i add more frames, he will continue walking until the last frame! how can i make him stop walking at frame 00:07:00 and then at frame 00:07:20 he waves?

YES IT WORKS THANK YOU!!! but can you please explain why? i wanna learn...oh and i don't drink coffee thank you

WAHHH.....I DON'T GET IT...I TRIED BUT IT DOESN'T WORK...OK I'LL TYPE OUT ALL THE STEPS I DID AND CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?!?!?! ok... first i go to frame 00:07:00 and click force keyframe while its arm bone is selected then i go to frame 00:08:00 and them move it up then when i play it, the arm moves from 0!!!

No i did it i'm talking about force keyframes

oh and what is a keyframe??? I want something to move on frame 00:01:00 and its action stops on frame 00:05:00 but when i play it, it start on frame 00:00:00...how do i fix it?

how?
