Problem Animating Simple Boxes

[rafey32]

Hello everyone,

my idea of animation is box that opens, and another similar box comes out of it and this goes on and on.... Since i have to do it for many boxes so i made my animation as my box translates i.e. slides out of another box and then it opens, now i want to animate this for about 25 boxes. My animation of a box sliding out and opening is in a clip as a box is a character. I have tried using animated snapshot but the problem is it makes the snapshots but only the first box animates.

i am not sure if i ws gud enuf to explain my problem.

though lookin forward if any1 can suggest a way so...

Hmm it works if you made it into 2 clips, one that pulls the box out of the box and one that opens the box. However a bit depending on how you intend to animate the recursion, you may want to have one scale transform for the initial rescale of the subsequent, and then just animate its child. then jut push everything into the one hierarchy after your created the character sets.

Ey joojaa,

FOA sorry for replying late, i managed to do it, i had an animation of the box that slides out and opens as i'v said in my question, i used post cycles to animate this clip as many times as i wanted which was followed by a simple cube that keep scaling behind the animated opened box, thats how simplest i cud get to achieve this effect. Anyways thanks for your thought mate.

I appreciate it.
