Simon Edmondson Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Presently trying to edit the F curves on an animation sequence and having all sorts of "fun" doing so. Can anyone kindly suggest a broad strategy for going about the process?. Mainly trying to stop feet going through the floor plane and smooth out positional changes as it approaches or moves away from the keyframe. If I adjust one bone until it works, it inevitably affects the position of another. Its probably age catching up with me but, it can get very involved and confusing very quickly. I wondered if there was a fairly standard way of approaching the problem, such as starting where in the bone heirachy, what type of interpolation to use. I appreciate this is a Chicken and egg type of question but, just wondered if anyone had a regular method or workflow they used to deal with it? regards simon Quote

Simon Edmondson Posted February 9, 2019 Author Posted February 9, 2019 Apologies. Clearly not looking in the right place.Bit preoccupied with more mundane, less enjoyable, non animation matters regards simon Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 10, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted February 10, 2019 I got the TSM2 spine that i was trying yesterday at LAT to behave. Basically this is animation of a pelvis bone and a torso bone to get the flips going, The interpolation of the IK spine isn't as smooth as I hoped so i will look into other solutions.

Simon Edmondson Posted February 11, 2019 Author Posted February 11, 2019 Robert Thank you very much indeed. Thats a lot better than sequence I have already. I think it may lead to a different animation rather than redo the current project. Should be more fun though ! regards simon Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 11, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted February 11, 2019 Here is a test implementation of David Simmons' suggestion of a spine switch. It's fussier to create than using a premade rig but once it works it does make for a better controlled spine... tubeFlip000.mp4 1 Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 12, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted February 12, 2019 Here is what I think is a better solution, with a variation of an IK spine. Look in your messages for the PRJ clip4458SimonsButterFlip1K.mp4 Quote
