Point

This option allows the character to point with either its left or right arm, use the cursor to edit this movement and click on the Idle icon to allow the character to return to its original position after the movement. You can also adjust the speed (for this to apply it should be adjusted before recording the movement).

  1. Add
    Once you have created a point movement in the Drag Area, select Add to save it to the Timeline where it can be adjusted to change its start and end times. If the Red Playhead is at the end of the Timeline, the animation will automatically extend the Timeline.
  2. Play

    Select Play to see a preview of the point movement you created in the Drag Area. If the Red Playhead is at the end of the Timeline you will not be able to preview the animation, to make preview possible extend the Timeline or place the Red Playhead at an earlier point in the Timeline.

  3. Delete
    Select Delete to delete a point movement you have made.

  4. Idle
    Once you have created a point movement and added it to the Timeline, you can select Idle, this will add an animation after the point movement to allow the character to return to its normal stance.
  5. Drag Area

    The Drag Area allows you to create point movements. Click and drag the cursor around the Area in the direction you want the character's left or right arm to move, releasing the mouse button will end the point movement.

  6. Speed

    Adjust the speed of the movement, this only applies if the speed is adjusted before you record the point movement.
