(This is a repost from the Max forum, and I felt it might be more suited here)Once again, MAX confuses me(but what else is new)...I think I'm understanding keyframing wrong.Ok, I'm creating an animation.Now, as I'm doing it, I create the keyframes at certain frames(moving different parts of my human mesh at different keys).Ok, this is probably hard to understand, but I want each keyframe to key the position for all bodyparts, even if I don't move them all.Maybe an example would help.Ok, In my first keyframe, I set the chest the way I want it.In the next keyframe, I don't mess with the chest, I bend an arm.In the third keyframe, I bend the chest over.Now, if I play the animation, the chest bends all the way from keyframe one, to keyframe three, because those are the only two keys for the stomach.I want it to only bend from the second keyframe, to the third, as that's the only place I want the bending of the chest.How would I do this, or is it even possible? Thanks again
