    Trigger Animation

    Posted by Gnwanya on October 10, 2006 at 3:13 pm

    Hi All

    I hope you can help me with my dilema. I am creating a 2 minute showreel. I have created a 3d environment where images are flying pass the screen as the camera zooms through the environment. At various intervals onlong the way I have some images that stop in front of the camera, which I animated on a separate comp. What i cant work out is how to trigger the animations at those specific times, rather than create the whole thing on a single timeline.

    Can this be done using expressions? Would the animation be triggered by a cue point on the timeline or the distance the camera is to the animating comp? Plus if anyone has done something similar your advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Gus
