Insert Animation Key without deforming curve

Submitted by Ewok on Thu, 2012-03-22 19:03

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone knows if there is a way to insert keys to an animation curve without deforming it.

In my example the cube simply moves from its position at frame 0 to the new position at frame 30.

(mybox = box width:5 height:5 length:5
select $Box001
sliderTime = 0f
move $ [-50,0,0]
sliderTime = 30
set animate on
move $ [100,50,25]
set animate off
sliderTime = 15f)

If now I insert a key at frame 15 the curves of the X,Y, and Z Position will change according to the selected In/Out Tangent Type. What i'm looking for is a way to insert keys to curves without deforming their curvature.

Try this ( --find current

Try this

(
--find current in/out tangent type
maxops.getDefaultTangentType &inTangent &outTangent
--now set to be linear (both)
maxops.setDefaultTangentType #linear #linear
 
mybox = box width:5 height:5 length:5
select $Box001
sliderTime = 0f
move $ [-50,0,0]
sliderTime = 30
set animate on
move $ [100,50,25]
set animate off
sliderTime = 15f
--then if you want return default tangents back
maxops.setDefaultTangentType inTangent outTangent
)
