Alt-D. I understand what you mean there, although I think that such keying would create more work than it saves. In my experience with breakdown keys in Maya, things get confusing very quickly. You could do something similar in Blender, though, by not copying that frame to frame 9 and just instancing the action in the NLA editor. Then editing the one action would effect both keys. ... I think. ;) ~ C _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
