animation & light intensity problem

[harrowboy]

hi all,

I know how to move objects/lights around and adjust its intensity when I do my animation with auto key mode,

but the same procudure I used to move objects around with Set key mode, doesn't seem to be working when i try to change the intensity of my light (wether its photometric or vray light).

say there's 100 frames, and I want the intensity to go from 100~1500cd, from frame 70~frame 100.

can anyone show me how to set this up or guide me to a tutorial for this kind of stuff?

thx.

try this -

 

create omni light in your scene in frame 1.

 

hit "auto key" (it should turn red)

 

move the animation slider to frame 100.

 

change the multiplier of the light to what ever you want.

 

hit auto key to stop auto keying.

 

done. move the slider to see the change.

 

 

also if u open up the Curve Editor, u can accurately change the way you animate. for the light multiplyer, open the stack style thing on the left until you find multiplier, and u should see a graph, which you can edit as you please.

 

hope this helps

hi Dean,

 

auto keying actually works, but then the intensity is being changed between frame-0 to frame-100...

 

when I use the set key mode, and open the curve editor for a light. I can't see a graph that I can drag up and down in the "multiplier" part.

in the curve editor, can u see things like rotation, scale, etc?

 

if so, goto the bottom of the list, and click on the + to open the tree formation until u find the multiplyer (it should be coloured orange)
