Animation but no keyframes

[billywarp1]

Hello all,

I am still new to 3ds Max, and I am wondering if anyone would be able to help with this (probably) really easy question. I downloaded a model from turbosquid to mess around with and I noticed that there are some aspects of the model that are animated, but I can't find any keyframes anywhere. For example, the eyeballs of the character move from left to right a few times, but the eyeballs themselves have no keyframes for rotation or anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

they must be linked to another object or dummy.
Open the MAXScript listener, menu MAXScript - Listener or F11.
Then select your eyeball and type $.parent
It will return the name of its parent and you will find like this your animated objects.
This one way to get it, they are others, but I dont have Max at work, only maya abd houdini.

Good luck.

Thanks a bunch, that was the problem!

Here is the final video, (it was the eyes and the door that were giving me problems!)



Thanks again!

hey, that's pretty good. The track is a little off in a few places and he looks like he is sliding on the sidewalk a bit, but other than that it looks great.
