Description

« Hide

When uploading animatoins with a non-zero IN value for looping, the % is never correct, and time must be spent guessing using trial and error to get the lopp working correctly. I propose a removal of % altogether, in favor of using frame numbers instead. This will save animators a lot of time and frustration.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "the % is never correct". Could you give a more detailed example of what this value shows/does and what you think it should show/do?

Is it possible that the percentages erroneously take into account the first frame, which is used as a reference? Or maybe you EXPECT it to take into account the first frame, and it doesn't because the first frame is not part of the actual animation?

...incidentally, I'm all for using frame numbers instead. Much less ambiguous, much more accurate.

I can't even upload the default animations that are available on Second Life's website without a pretty jarring skip being present in them. No amount of adjustment of the % seemed to remedy the problem.

Help!

These example animations from the site do not have a blank first (reference) frame. I copied the first frame, pasted it in the new first place, zeroed out all the values cept for the hip placement, and then modified the frame# to reflect this. Still no fix to the violent jar!
arrghhhhh

I'm all for replacing the percentages with frame numbers. That would make a lot more sense.

Also, this may be related to http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3783

Is this still a problem and if so, can you please provide reproducible steps?

2:: Mess around with non-zero loop values.

It's a no-brainer, which part are you unclear on?
