I have fixed a bug in the Animation plugin that will create problems
when you work with meshes.
There is update available from our website..... it also adds a new
experimental feature that some of you might appreciate :-)

Go to http://www.stmuc.com/moray/meplugin.html for details.

Thank you for checking into that problem. I tried downloading the zip file
and it won't unzip. I downloaded it several times with the same result.
Winzip says it is missing 8 bytes of information, and that it does not
appear to be a valid archive. Maybe it needs to be uploaded again?

Re: "experimental feature": TOO AWESOME! Thanks, Lutz! That is just too
cool! You have no idea how such a simple tool can really help me visualize
things when setting up an animation. Thanks a bunch!

BTW, it seems to work well on my setup... no probs so far...

I do notice, tho, that cubic interpolation is not applying to the
translation (location) of an object any longer. When I turn Cubic on, it
affects only the distance traveled between frames, not the actual path of
the travel (which remains linear.) Is this the way its always worked? I
thought in the previous version, the Cubic interpolation caused
straight-segmented paths to "curve" slightly to smooth out angular movement
of animated objects.

Think of the old bouncing ball animation, where you'd like to create
parabolic motion paths with certain keyframes able to have a very sharp
change in direction - where the ball hits the surface. The frame
interpolation needs also to be biased toward the center of the parabola -
where the ball slows down then speeds up again as it returns to bounce on
the surface. If I were able I'd attach an image of what I mean (company
firewall issues) - and I don't think I could pull it off with ASCII-art.
I'll try to illustrate what I mean when I get home and have a chance - look
in m.bin...

Just a thot,
-Kman

You need to go into the Timeline Editor and select the translation
part of the objects animation timeline. Then in the graph, you can
pull and tweak the handles of the splines....
