Hello!
I am fairly new to Maya. What I am trying to do is animate a vibrating metal bar (imagine a tuning fork or such).
I have successfully set up the flexing motion using the bend deformer (keyframing the curvature parameter of the handle). Now I want to be able to animate/envelope the oscillation frequency and amplitude smoothly over time (going from large rapid oscillation to small slow oscillation and back again).
I thought I could solve this by setting up animation clips in the Trax editor, but when I try creating an animation clip, I get the error message "No animated channels on the selected object(s)".
Somehow Trax doesn't "see" the keyframed curvature.
What have I missed?
Is there a better way to solve this perhaps?
Cheers,
