can one attach objects togather and still keep their animation parameters?

Not as far as I know, Why don't you just create a group

[BrianKitts]

Attaching an object will inherit it's parent's animated properties. I'm not a fan of groups as the get messy with layer managment.

 

Depending on your reasoning for the attachment, you might want to just use either a selection set, or place all of those objects on their own layer for easy selection through the layer manager.

Can you control the pivot point of a selection set?

[JonRashid]

haha you just don't like groups I forget sometimes this is cgarchitect and the importance of layers to those who are used to working with them.

I want to apply vray fur to the objects.

but I can apply it to only one at a time, and have 100s of copies of same object.

 

if I select both the fur and the object it's applied to, and "instance" it, the fur doesnt get carried to the new item,... and if I "copy" (the fur +object), the fur seems to have trouble remembering it's parameters and screws everthing up.

 

also, I'd like to have only one fur to adjust in case I need to, instead of altering a single parameter to 100s of instances.
