Anybody knows where I can find some animation tutorial?I tryed one from tutorials in here but seems link is broken and metacreation link dos not work either and in the book is nearly not enough.

Vladimirh, have you tried the tutorial in the manual? It's not great (I think the editors left out a paragraph or two!), but it's pretty good for the basics. Also, I'd suggest asking this question in both the Animation Forum here and at Willow's PFO, as the guy who WROTE the animation tutorial (Ian Grey) posts only over there.

Put a cape on the figure and call it a feature :) (the ever helpful colt)

Hi, I would suggest rereading about the Keyframe editor. It can be tricky but I think you may find the answer there. Also another way, is to keep your "shoots" short. Save a lot, and if your changing camera scenes you may want to animate that as a seperate "shoot" and put it together in a video editor. If you watch t.v. or film you will notice you almost never have a 2 minute straight "shoot" (after editing) except in documentry or "stlyised" productions. This may be to simplistic info to help; and I am sure many people would disagree, but if it helps great if not keep at I am sure you'l work it out. Good luck.

Well,if I could get at least 1 minute without my figure jumping around that would be nice.But I will check keyframe editor more deeply then andwe will see. Vladimir
