Sequence Animation

[Nolan Scott]

Well, I’am not really sure what you like to achieve (I don’t have After Effects)
but maybe you might find this link helpful:

I think he’s talking about the Display tag. Put a Display Tag on an object. Tick the box next to ‘Use’ ‘Visibility’ and keyframe from 0-100 on consecutive frames. You can also animate the little red and green dots, (under the ‘Basic’ tab in the Attributes Manager) but I don’t like doing that.

Oops, my bad, he’s talking about bringing a number of things in sequentially, like ‘Sequence Layers’ in AE.

There’s no command to do that. There are plugins for tiled animation (Jenna, Ditools and others), there’s Xpresso to make it work with a lot of sweaty learning, there’s Offset Animation by Entagma:

I have the same question. I work regularly in Flash and After effects and have come acustomed to duplicating animations and simply moving the duplicate down so many frames to have the animations happen sequencially. Is this not possible in Cinema 4d??? IS it possible in any other 3d software package. I have seen so many animations that I look at and just know they have to use a similar method to this. Any help is appreciated.
