repeat rotation value
I’m brand new to C4D, as in this is my first week, so I thank you for your patience!
I’m coming from after effects and expressions and I need to do something in C4D, but i’m unsure how to do it.
I have a simple animation. A phone is rotating back and forth on the X axis about 30 degrees or so for about 2 minutes in total duration. Not knowing of there is any other way to do it, i key framed every 250 frames the movement that I needed. I’m now needing to increase the rotation, and I realyl don’t want to re-keyframe everything again. Is there a way I can set one parameter that will help me with this? Much like an expression in after effects.
here’s screenshot of all my keyframes: https://uploadpie.com/JQ5Rv
Thanks!

You only need to key frame the motion once. Then click on the rotation track and in the attributes manager, set the “After” parameter to “Repeat”.

Thanks Adam! That seemed to work, but i’m now including the animation of the phone rotating the the previous key frames.
The phone flies forward while rotating several times, then when it stops it slowly oscillates back and forth – thus my need for the automatic key framing. But now after it repeats the slow back and forth motion, it also does the spinning several times around, just like it did in the beginning.
How can I only repeat the back and forth oscillation motion?

I would put the phone inside of a null object and animate the phone itself for the non-repeating parts, then animate the null for the oscillation and use the repeat mode on it.
