Figure 6.8 shows the scene loaded into Layout.
Figure 6.8 A simple scene with a few objects, ready to be put in motion.
2. With the teacup scene loaded, be sure
the frame slider at the bottom of the
Layout interface is at 0, be sure Auto
Key is enabled, and activate Auto Key
Create on the General Options tab
within the Preferences panel (press o) to have keyframes created automatically.
3. Select Modified Channels from the selection area of the Auto Key Create command,
as in Figure 6.9. In Modified Channels mode, new keyframes are created
only for those channels that have been changed, whereas setting Auto Key Create
to All Motion Channels creates a new keyframe for everything in your scene anytime
you make a change to your selected item.While this feature might seem useless,
it is just another option for you in LightWave. It??™s not something you??™ll use
often, but at times you might need it. Suppose you??™re creating an animation of
characters dancing on a stage and all items need to follow specific timing; creating
keyframes with All Motion Channels enabled will save you time.
Figure 6.9 Be sure to set the Auto Key
Create option to Modified Channels on
the General Options tab.
