Weird rotation issue

High all,

I'm working on an animation with a sword, and when I do the unsheathing, it all works fine.

The moment when my sword is fully drawn, and I start to rotate it down for a slash, ( I think it's the moment where I key a +rotation after a keyed -rotation) it starts doing full rotation the other way around to get to the same spot.

Is there a way to resolve this easily?

Change your rotation manipulator to gimbal mode.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
