Inside LightWave v9 268
Chapter 6 Principles in Motion 269
Take a look at the Frame and Value areas
under the Curves tab. Instead of values, they
are highlighted with ???[mixed]??? (Figure
6.61). This means that the currently selected
keyframes have different values.
6. Type 10 in the Value field and press Enter.
All selected keyframes now jump to the
same value, and perhaps even out of sight.
Press a to make the curves fit back into view.
Setting the same value for multiple keyframes is useful when you need to adjust
many keyframe values, of course. Instead of selecting a keyframe and adjusting
individual values, you can change values in one step as long as multiple keyframes
are selected.
Editing Color Channels
Everything discussed in this chapter with respect to object position and rotation also
applies to settings such as light intensity, objects dissolves, and much more. Let??™s look at
LightWave Graph Editor??™s ability to animate color channels, which is really cool for animating
such things as stage lighting or a gradually changing sunset.
Exercise 6.11 Animating Color Channels
1. Close the Graph Editor, clear the LightWave scene, and then select the scene??™s
default light.
