I am doing a simple animation in which a part follows a spline path (in order to avoid hitting other parts as it moves). I did it in PhotoView 360 with frame by frame rendering.
I would like to do it again using Visualize Professional (better rendering), but it appears I can only do key frame animation. Then Visualize does a "shortest path" between key frames. But because my path is a curved spline, it looks as if I will need to add many key frames to simulate a curved path?
I know you can edit the path of a camera motion. It would be great if you could also edit the path of a key frame animation.
Or am I missing something?
Hi Bill you can adjust the path (ribbon) for a component you have moved and keyframed but you might have to right click on the animation and choose edit animation to change the ribbon thickness and segment length to make it visible. see below image. Before i did this the ribbon was too small to see.Best to keep points to a minimum i find then tweak for a nice smooth result. Using a different camera helps to visualize what is going on and perhaps use mutiple viewports also.
