Trax editor help
Hi there,
I've been playing around a little with animation lately and came across the trax editor. I've heard you can mix, blend animation clips in there, is that right? I've had a little go at it but didn't get very far. I've created a clip and imported that into the trax, now I want to create another one and blend/merge the two. But I cannot animate my character any further as it has incoming connections on all the keyed attributes. How would I go about in creating the clip I want, go back to my character, delete the keys, create another clip and so forth, or is that not possible at all? any help, links to tutorials would be much appreciated, thanks |
Yep thats what you can do with it, ive personally not used it so couldent comment on how useful it is.
Ive seen a few tutorials on the net for it and theres a tutorial in the Maya 6 the complete reference also i'm pretty sure the help files will have a tutorial on it too. If your googling tutorials it might be best off to google "non linear animation in maya"as thats the term for wha the trax editor does |
hey gster thanks,
I've had a look on google and in the help files, but didn't really find what I needed. I'll get along without trax for now, I think digital tutors have a tutorial just for trax, I might get that one when I really need it cheers |
Hi,
maya's built in tutorials have some good stuff on the trax editor, try them out first if you haven't already. Also, the book "The Game Artists's Guide to Maya" has a good section on character sets and the trax editor. I'd recommend it as a very good book to work through (by the end you'll have modeled, UV'd, textured and animated a character). cheers, gubar |
