I used long ago an strange trick for a walk-trough animation: I linked a free camera to the head of a biped !!!... It worked quite well, anyway I like your method too, it doesn't have so many steps and you could also turn any camera into a "hand-shake" one at any time !!
Thanks!!

Nice job. Thanks for the tip.

That would be a great tut. In all honesty (and I know your time is precious), but a 'general overall' animation tutorial would be fun. It's something that I find a lot of tutorials on, but nothing really set in stone. I know that 3ds max, vray, mental ray, and so forth is more or less, how one sees fit. But, something a little more solid in terms of animation would be welcomed.

John,
to keep a steady animation, before you start keying, set your "Default In/Out Tangents for New Keys" (the button next to left of the Set Key button)from bezier to linear (the straight line).

That will fix those pesky smooth in/outs. Just a caution that your key frames won't interpolate smoothly though...maybe I should do a post on the Curve Editor :)

That's perfect. I guess if you wanted actual steps, you would just use a waveform float. 3 questions; what is a tip on avoiding the speed up and slow down on beginning and ending animations. There are occasions where I want the whole animation one speed. Lastly, I render my animations in 3ds max but it takes forever to get a decent render. Especially a 30 second one. Is that normal? I also never figured out how to compile the images to make an animation so I render to video.
