hi Spirit here
i am using 2 Biped avatars to make an animation, and i can NOT for the life of me get the first and last frames to match up
i am selecting EVERYTHING ( i believe) deleting the end frame and Shift dragging the other end frame over to create a seamless loop ( as normal)
but this is not working correctly
i am new to using the biped avatars, i just used the standard pose master before, and this method of copying the frames over always worked

it seems to me i am not managing to Delete all the information from one side OR i am not copying information over, or both!

any suggestions? thankyou

Lock the frame before the end and you will get what you want.

What you do is turn on the AutoKey and click that on the last frame before the loop end you want. What that does is it will prevent smooth transformation of bone movements and it will go straight into whatever pose you put in the next frame. I been using this method to do my poses. (click to see pic)

Bumping because I still can't get a clean loop. And there seems to be no good reason

Umm idea:

- Control -A
- Autokey on
- frame 0
- Hit set keys button (that key button)
- Auto key off
- remove last frame
- copy to 1 frame to end

--- You video shows that you have last and first keys to gray... they should be red green blue keys. Gray mean only transformation is saved.

If that dint help:
- hit schematic button and make sure you you all bones visible.

nope no good Evil, i did try it. Thankyou
but i DID get the Fix from "SomecallmeRob"
i sent him the file to look over bless him

im not really sure what was the cause of the problem
but i hid all the geometry and focused on the bones
noticed the spine on one and the pelvis on the other was what was moving
when u select the whole lot it dosent select the bones
so i just selected the bones that had the issue, and copied keyrames from the to the start and end of the timeline and that sorted it out
