Playing with the Prop Key Editor and transition curves.



Found a few bugs with the prop key editor and timeline. 
They are all listed in the bug tracker.

Jlittle, nice job on the house animation. Love the springy quality you can add to props now. The sound effects make a heck of a difference too. Good job!

To do the knife blade, it is a seperate prop behind the knife handle, invisible until the frame it starts the animation to pop up.

Thanks Garry.
It was just a rough quickie playing around with the prop key editor to see what could be done.
Yes, The new transitions are great as is the prop key editor.

Speaking of sound effects Garry, I liked the snick sound of the blade opening.

Off to play with the new Elastic motions and see what they are all about.

Once we find out how to make the interactive animated props it would be no need to have the knife blade as a separate prop behind the handle.
By the way all of your work is great.

Been playing around with the Elastic Motions and decided to create my own.
Came up with this one:


Even created and added my own thumbnail to it.
Here it is in action applied to four (4) balloons.
I noticed that the orientation of the object it is applied to affects the direction.

That balloon animation is awesome! Love it. CTA3 is definitely opening up all new possibilities.

Quick character test from a body base I'm working on. A new set of characters called "Little Mates".

Note: I think one of the secrets to the potential success of CTA3 is a MASSIVE amount of available motions for the new characters. Just my thought. The ability to drag and drop motions instead of having to key frame every movement is a huge advantage of this software.
