I am trying to key frame animate a cube that is bobbing up and down.


I wanted to then take the tank girl model and place her on the cube and see how she moves when given physical properites in relation to the keyframed movement of the cube.


I can not seem to get the keyframe cube movement to 'play' during the simulation of Tank girl .


She responds to the cube, very nicely , but the cube does not move during the simulation based on the ketframes I have already recorded for it.


Hope that made sense.

Hey Humdinger (Vinnie!). Do This:


Select the cube. Add a physical property to it.


Then, right click on any physics tool. A panel in the Panels aspect of the stack opens.


Switch to the Constraints view of the PhysObject panel.

There is a parameter called Active, which is checked by default.


Uncheck the Active parameter.


Then, the cube will no longer have physics simulation calculated, but will play its keyframed animation during physics.


Please do not however, I have never done this before; rather, I got this information straight out of the manual, Chapter 9 (Animation). I hope it helps!

You know I thought there would be more Animation Awards given out this month with people using TS 7.5 and you are the two I was counting on....;)

Get moving!:)
