"Animation sets" are used to separate movements for web 3D. You can output the character in metastream format. Each animation set creates a button in the web document. This is also how you separate moves for characters used in Adobe Atmosphere. Animation Tip: Secondary motion is pivital in creating realistic animations. A good example of secondary motion would be a horse tail. As the horse runs, the tail follows the up and down motion of the body but slightly behind in timing. This gives the feeling of the body's movement causing the tail to move. Another example would be a figure quickly turning around and the arms following slightly behind and rocking a little bit before coming to rest at the side. Cheers, Joe
