Cleaning a Drill animation

Post by PywareTechSupport » Mon Aug 22, 2005 4:41 pm

This is great if you are having the animation jump to previous positions during animation.

To clean a drills animation up and make it a smooth transition follow the steps below.

These steps need to be only applied to one set at a time.

1) Spread your anchors over the set that is jumping.
2) Highlight the the postions that are jumping.
3) Go to the Morph Tool
4) Click Accept
5) Animate

This should smooth the animation. This option can be applied an number of sets where you are experiencing the jumping animation. This can also be used if you are merging together 2 sets whe you have written backwards to a point in the drill.

Does the push tool still work for this feature like it once did or do you now have to use the morph tool?

In the original 3D this function was managed by the push tool. The 3D Java now utilizes the Morph tool.

Does this also work after a "Drill Rewrite" has been applied when deleting spots? Is there a better way to re-smooth out the animation?
