Animation Ghosting Question?？

[zhenpanda]

In Maya when you ghost an animation you see the frames before the current frames or after the current frames to help you check and fix mistakes.

But is there a way to view the animation or
view all of the animation of a whole scene as ghost no matter which frame you're on?

in custom frame step you can go only as high 20 before current frame or 20 after current frame
is there a way to extend that?

And where is the ghost animation stored? cause I can not find the node in the hypergraph?

Its not stored not as such. Maya just regenerates the same dag info many times (tough the individaul nodes do cache). So showing a long sequance all in one go would be a bit slow.

But yes under favorable conditions you could snaphot the entire anim, but yes atleast in maya 2009 you can show as much as you like itested showing 1000 frames and it worked out well enough. Tough maya gets REALLY slow Especially if yous tart adding dynamics taht are sims.

Tough you can also run out of memory.

If you want the geometry run animated snapshot.
