  • Help: Joints aren’t animating!

    Posted by Skyler Foxx on May 11, 2009 at 12:00 am

    I have finished a couple of character rigs for some characters I modeled in C4D and now I am trying to animate them. The joints would deform and make the arms, legs, etc. move, but for some reason it would not animate every time I try to insert a keyframe. This only happens with joints and bones, it never happens when I animate something simple like rotating a sphere. I don’t know if there is a certain tool in C4D that got disabled, but if somebody could please help me I’d really appreciate it!

    Howdy,

    It’s going to be difficult for anyone to help you without seeing the file.

    Adios,

    The only thing I can think of is that you may have disabled the position/rotation radio buttons on the time slider.

    I’ve checked and all of them are enabled.

    Here is the file of the character and animation I’m attempting.

    If anyone has found out what is wrong, please tell me.

    Thanks!
