What version or RS are you using?



The last info I can find concerning this is this from Matthias:

Must be Realsoft v. 6.01.04 !
Not 6.01.03 .

Use the 60 day Demo, or wait for the update :-?


Someone please correct me, if this is no longer the case.

Hi Matt :

  Oh , OK . Those directions from the manual were for the
Choreo window . I looked in there but still could not find
any "up/down" or "Fix attribute list" etc . Doesn't matter
anyway , I just thought there was something odd going with
the manual , or me .

  Anyway , I know you like the Choreo editor , but I most
assuredly do not . I much prefer to move my model(s) by
hand in the viewport and then just create a keyframe for
that model , which will include everything from colour to
size to pose to VSL to rigidity etc etc .

  Then I can come back to that keyframe and change what-
ever I like , and then copy that keyframe to anywhere I
like , as many times as I like etc etc etc .

  This does not appear to be possible with V6 . Maybe it
is inside the Choreo editor , but I find that editor a
complete nuisance to use , and to try and use it for a
complex object containing many parts seems to be a per-
fect way to ruin a weekend .

  Morphing is a smooth way , but keys are much more ex-
act . For instance , if you had a sound track that you
were trying to get complex objects to hit certain points
with exact movements , morphing is going to take you
forever and six days to nail it .

  With a key it would just be a matter of setting that
key on the timeline and then moving on to the next one.
I guess we can do that now , but the 'Record' button
must be on . Somehow , that seems so wrong , to me .

 I don't know me ... creating keys in the viewport seems
like such a simple , basic , ancient concept . No idea
why we would have to go inside that haunted house (the
Choreography Editor) in order to work with keys .

whatever
