Thanks Rampa. I didn't know that. I guess you learn something new everyday.

Rampa, man....you are the F1 Help button.

(original thought by Raxel_67)

There are two solutions for this:

Select "Body Part" will key only the parts(s) that are moved. So if you rotate the head, only it receives a key. If you drag the hand with the translate gizmo, the wrist, elbow, and shoulder will receive keys.


Using the "FK Mode" also sets individual body-part keys. But it is rotation only, so no inverse kinematics of dragging hands around like the above method.

What good is the "A" hot key to add a key frame to a specific body part, because when you move that body part to animate it, the whole motion layer populates with all body parts. This is ridiculous and needs to be fixed. I want to be able to refer back to the timeline to a particular body part that I animated and find it quickly. I can't do that if all body parts populate on the motion layer at the same spot. I have been waiting for this fix for years. It needs to be addressed. What I currently have had to do is to go back to the spot where, lets say I animated the head to move. I then have to delete all other body parts from that spot to know that this is where I made the adjustment to the head. This still presents a problem, because if I find I need to adjust this part again just a tad, it repopulates the whole motion layer in this section again. This is a major pain in the butt. Please fix it!

It's by no means a dig or making mockery of your heritage, I am just making lite of a situation & constantly see the humour in things. I'm Irish & we were the first to think of powdered water, just need to add water 😂😂😂😂😂
We got to laugh otherwise we can get too serious

I saw that we now have a way to reposition the GI anchor by picking a parent. This pleases me, as I suggested this in FT (#2107).

As far as the hidden objects go, for me this is useful because I often have large scenes where the camera can be in different positions, meaning that different objects are visible for different shots. The way I understand this is that I can have a "master" scene and then hide/unhide objects as needed. Until now, I would delete these objects without always knowing what the original configuration was.

A hide in preview, but render everything option would be fine with me, although I don't know if I would use it.

I'm still recovering from my move, so I will have loads to catch up with. On the upside, I have much more space, so it's time to consider Mocap...

Press down "," key to stop playing and go back to the first time frame.

Yeah, I miss that too.  Apparently they decided that it was redundant, that you could just use the "home/start" key (whatever you want to call that) because it has the same effect (the "Stop" button was more of a "reset to the beginning button" rather than a "pause", which is still there after you press play).
