hello, i’m practicing animation with ludwig rig, and it has so many bones that the action editor is full . So, I cant see the bone keys at the top. I cannot scroll up, is there any way to do this (I tried mouse wheel, + - numpad, but these affect only the internal timeline window).
thanks in advance
Use the MMB but don’t scroll - that just makes it go left right - Press down the MMB and move the mouse up/down (you can move left/right too) … Or if you can’t press down the MMB for some reason use Shift + scroll MMB/wheel .
it works, thanks (for explaining also the no mmb option)
anyway, its weird, some page up, page down would do better
Another one, in the nla i got a ‘wave’ and ‘walk strips’ I can play them independently, but not mixed. what should I do?
thanks in advance
You need to hit/select the “shark attack victim” (the little icon used for the Action Editor) in the NLA . When the “shark attack victim” icon changes into the NLA icon then you should be able to play/mix/blend your actions …
…I don’t know why this is so poorly documented/easily overlooked, but yes it is easy as just doing that … maybe a context help pop up is needed …?
hey sorry, i repeated the question in another thread, i though here would be overlooked. thanks for your help. I got another in the other thread about non repeating walk cycles… this rigging-animation stuff is driving me mad… thanks for your help, VP.
yes, yes, yes, YES.
the shark attack victim was the culprit… now repeated cycles work, and combined actions also (with the walk cycle on top)
great, thanks again VP, you saved me hours of depression. I dont remember the bsod tute about animation mentioned this… only the ‘up and down’ strips for overriding bone movements…
