Hey everyone. A friend just let me borrow his A:M CD and I'm diving right into the exercises along with the book. I was working on exercise 5 "Take A Walk" where you make the rabbit walk along a path. And for some reason, the path has a decline in it. I have no idea how to make it level. In the final rendered movie, the rabbit appears to gradually sink into the ground, like he is walking through a swamp. Below is an attachment to screenshots.

 

Any answers how to fix this would be much appreciated. THANKS!

welcome to A:M!

 

one solution is to flatten the path vertically

 

 

-select the path

-open the properties window (ALT-3)

-set transform>scale>Y to 0% this flattens it

 

-set transform>translate>Y to 0cm this brings it to ground level

 

you may need to close and reopen the chor for the rabbit to recognize the altered path

...and if that dont work as you expect it to...

 

You could always draw the path again. 'Tis quick to do!

Drawing from top view should keep the path at the same height all the way through. :)
