I'm trying to animate a landscape in Bryce 5. It's a type I've done successfully before, a flowing river, but this time I have 2 problems I haven't been able to solve. The only thing I animated is the water, but the hills in the foreground sort of quiver and either they change position or the camera changes position by the end of the ten seconds. I've removed all keyframes and checked in the Animation Lab and can't find any, so why is anything moving? Thanks.

Sure you didn't accidentally select the other objects? Dunno why they'd be funny otherwise. Were they locked in their respective attributes windows before you moved the river? Hmmm...

Did you check and make sure you didn't accidentally animate the texture?

Thanks--I'll check out your suggestions. I didn't know you could animate texture!

Its not easy to remove animation properties from a b5 scene. Do a search here, cuz a year ago or less someone posted on this subject of cleaning off the animation and starting over without having to recreate all your objects. I think it was brycetech, but not certain. Might ask him. I've found that when the scene is sufficiently screwed up, its time to start over. Dunno if that's your problem. also, do you have the sun/clouds animated which might be light shifting the terrain? Best wishes.

Yes, I've run into this before. Even though it seems to me I've cleared up all the things that were problems, somehow it just won't come out right. Hmmmm, I'm starting to see the importance of backing up the original scene so I have a new one to work with. I'll do a search. Many thanks.

Aye, I wasted hours yesterday on a scene where for some reason I was getting two shadow sets... Removed every light, then even turned the sun off, and couldn't figure out where the other shadow was coming from! I nearly gave up, then remembered I had a light slab fog... and that was where the other shadow was coming up...

Thanks again, everyone.
