Re: [Bf-committers] Fully qualified names for channels in actions?

2011-09-19 Thread Jarred de Beer 
Perhaps it's not the most 'convenient' solution, but something you can do is
key the 'Delta Location' transform (find it in the objects panel).  It seems
to be like a layer on top of the 'Transform' data.  You can then place them
anywhere in world space and they'll move relative to that point.

Hope it might help,
Jarred

 Thats not what i meant. I try to imagine a simple solution to animate
 multiple objects independently, while the location for each object will
 be stored inside the same action. This could be much easier as to parent
 the objects to the bones of an armature or to use the NLA with one
 action per object layered on top of each other.

 Bones have their own names and own channels inside an action. Real
 objects do only share the same channel, which does not allow for
 multiple objects inside one action.

Re: [Bf-committers] Camera view navigation rant

2011-04-25 Thread Jarred de Beer 
+1 this side,

While on the topic of camera view navigation, if i may just add something
slightly related: not being able to zoom with ctrl+mmb while in camera view
catches me out a lot.

I'll often have two viewports alongside one another - one in camera view and
one in 3d - while animating to the camera etc.  As i use a tablet and don't
have a mouse wheel, it becomes 'trickier' to focus on a certain area in both
views because i can use ctrl+mmb for the 3D view but have to drop the pen
and grab a second mouse/laptop-trackpad-scroll to focus in the camera view.

Rgds,
J

Re: [Bf-committers] small scale suggestion : keyframe extra tools

2010-05-11 Thread Jarred de Beer 
The one difference between using copy pose to buffer and being able to scrub
a key through the timeline is that you maintain your pose in the viewport.
If we scrub to frame 24 the pose would float away to any later keyframes and
then pop back to where it was when we paste the key.  I find it breaks
concentration on holding a pose.

I think it was discussed before and people advised to use the action editor
as a timeline for this purpose, to just shift-d the keys and move them
over.  I personally like to use the timeline, but can adjust if needed.

Re: [Bf-committers] Texture assignment workflow is confusing

2010-04-26 Thread Jarred de Beer 
Forgive the idea not being fully fledged, but how about incorporating the
outliner to better select the texture data we want displayed in the texture
properties.
