Animation curve editor?

[joiecito]

Hi there;

I've animate my camera flight and would like to edit the animation..., sorry for my ignorance but..., Where the hell is the animation curve editor?, I can't find anything about it.

P.S.: Yes, I have bought the animation module.

it has'nt been implemented yet

So?, How am I suppose to finetune my camera animation?, I purchased this program ONLY for the first shot of my video, so I need it to be good. I use MAYA, so you mean I need to have a tool to finetune the animation?, Now this is weird.

In the '80's we used to set the first and last camera locations. Then add more keyframes as needed. It's a pain, but I still use this method. If something does not work, the offending keyframes can be deleted; new ones added to get it right.
When I started 3D, everything was drawn out first on graph paper. Each vertex had to be input and the connections to make polygons all done in a text editor.

Sorry chap, there is no curve editing in present TG. You're stuck with an easy ease on key frames.

It gets worste when you try and export planetry scale movements from another app. TG bends x/z around it's origin.

We haven't implemented the curve editor yet, but we're going to start on that very soon.

You can remove key frames, or overwrite them with new values at any time.

How so? XYZ values are not distorted by the planet. The only thing that curves is the planet.

Thank's for your replies (I'd prefer to know that Terragen2 is unable to animate visualy before I bought though).

I read in the site that I can export .mov animation files from MAYA to be read in terragen but I can't find the way to do that, How can I read .mov in Terrgen?.

Thank's in advance.

Couldn't find anything about .mov on planetside.co.uk but here's a quote from the animation page

In 2009 we will add a graphical curve/key-frame editor, more interpolation options and powerful import/export functions. These will be released in free updates for anyone who pre-purchases the Animation module.

Camera motion can be imported from Nuke .chan files and Maya .mov files. Third party tools are available that allow you to transfer camera motion to Terragen 2 from Maya, 3DS Max, Cinema 4D, Blender and others.

That is said here http://www.planetside.co.uk/content/view/39/38/ and it must be true if it appears in the official terragen page.

I "think" you can load a .mov file in the same way as you can load a .chan file (dont have Maya to test). However once loaded since every frame is keyframed there is not much practical editing you can do.

Tested, Terragen can't load .mov files the same way as .chan files..., Another option?.

[cyphyr]

This might be useful then ...

That file is down, Do you have it and don't mind to share?, It export and import or only export?.

Thank's in advance.

Sorry, I just got that link from a quick google search. I don't use Maya so you may have better luck with better knowledge
