Chapter 2 LightWave v9 Layout 55
?—? You can snap keyframes in the Dope Track. LightWave??™s General Options (press o
in Layout) allow you to turn on a feature called fractional keyframes.With this
feature enabled, you can snap the selected keyframe to the closest whole keyframe,
such as 1, 2, or 5. A fractional keyframe is in between a whole keyframe, such as
1.3 or 2.7.
?—? A really cool feature of the Dope Track is support for copying and pasting
keyframes.When you paste copied keyframes in the dope track, their placement
is determined by the slider in the timeline: The first pasted frame is inserted at
the slider position.
Note
Layout Viewports
Like Modeler, Layout has multiple viewports. Look at Figure 2.12. Here, you can see the
viewport controls at the top of the Layout window, as you did in Modeler.
Figure 2.13 shows the viewing options available for each viewport you??™re working in, such
as Light view or Camera view.
