Frustrating night

Spent over two hours on the first lesson of the third module for one the image planes dont seem to be present despite me have the file path editor score the project files.

Second the joints on the thing dont seem to be parented to each other so i cant seem to figure out why they are not auto key framing despite the auto key framer being turned on even when i select all and press s



I found this very frustrating to try and learn the simple lesson im suppose to be doing. i literally have to press each one and press s. i even reset my maya preferences. has anyone else reported issues like this?



......................... Okay despite the issues i think i found a compromise that may work out. i clicked on the top then second and bottom with shift and made separate key frames which i think i should be able to proceed now. I realize i may face problems like this often. I even work tech support so i should be use to troubleshooting.


Also i just realizes he said it at least once to select each joint so i need to get better at listening. but i was

But im just glad i was able to get through that nightmare. otherwise by eye how he had it set up i tried to emulate it.

Thought i put this up before but it was in my other blog. Started the night off cleaning up the rest of the animations. i noticed the noise seemed to get progressively worse and any attempt to try and clean it up seems to make it worse i decided to try and move on and maker it move forward which doesn't look bad when in motion but at least i think i know what to look out for when i start the project I did learn a some what easier way of mirroring byt simply coping the animation twice then moving the fames by twelve and deleting excess heres it with added animation layer to move the character and heres an added camera the follows the path of the model

Some more overlapping action the 3rd  video seemed to be about cleaning up the graph editor which i have found to be very useful as ive used previous animation programs that did not have extensive graph editors so this is definitely something i can get use to. also i removed the plane because it wasnt doing anything for me any way. Next video and last of module is squash and stretch This part was a lot funner than i thought it would be as since most of the work is already done i can just go in and tweak things here and there and it really doesnt require much effort which is always a plus in my book I know i could probably make this look better and i should but also would like to move on and i got other projects.
