I need some help with this simple (not for me) animation. Look at the vid. What i want to do is make that tail wagging loop without hesitation, I can’t do it. By the way I will be using this in BGE that is why I am using armature instead of a wave modifier. Look at the keyframes they are staggered, maybe that might be the problem.

Is that Blender 2.49 you are running there?
If so I don’t think there are many who can help as most of us are on 2.74 upwards, I run 2.78a. Anything we say may only apply to more current releases.
Having said that - in later versions, you can alter the handles of the F-Curves to make for much lower accelerations, or even change the interpolation type to linear so there is no acceleration, therefore you can have smooth transitions for loops. Later versions of Blender also have Modifiers for the F-Curves so you can cycle an animation. I am not sure about 2.49 in this regard.

Very good, it is 2.49b, I thought it would be good to get out of the dark ages and learn the newest version of blender, but when I tried, 2.78 was buggy as hell so I went to 2.76b. The best way to learn newer interface of blender was to make a project in 2.76 that i had made in 2.49b but I had many problems witrh 2.76b so I abandoned it for now. 2.49b has all that I really need anyway. Thanks

I am running 2.78a on a Mac without any problems if that is any help, sorry I cannot help with 2.49, I started with Blender after that, although I use 2.49 for reading MIDI files. I can just about do that, but anything else is just too different for me to try to learn.
Cheers, Clock.
