Change tangents question?

[uncle808us]

If you change the tangent in the animation drop down does it change it for everything in the animation all parts?

Nope - just for the selected.

Thanks Frank...

Is there any way to lock the animation tangents in say, spline? Example: If I have everything set (start and stop keyframes) like I want, then decide that I want to change the end frame position slightly, all of the spline tangents for that frame are erased, and I have to start over. So much extra work! Thanks!

Try this one: Don't move the object itself and re-keyframe.
Instead move the xyz points on the F-curves.
That will keep the splines tangents.

Hmm, I will try that! Thanks so much, Zoo!

Happy to help.

As long as you don't re-keyframe that frame it keeps the tangent info.

Yes, I see. Im doing it right now. A different way to position, but I'll get used to it. Thanks again!
