How to set a range limit on key driven parameter?

litote — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 09:37:24 GMT

When I set up a key driven parameter (Animation set Key-Set Driven Key-Set), e.g. to make one attribute parameter drive the Rotate Z value of another, I set a range to limit the rotation in either direction.

e.g.:

I set Driving attribute: -25 and Rotate Z: -45. Hit Key.

I set Driving attribute: 25 and set Rotate Z: 45. Hit Key.

This works, but I would like to make the Driving Attribute parameter also limited to the range I set, i.e. -25 to 25, just for neatness and to show the animator the affecting range. Is there a method?

If you are creating the channel with the modify "add attributes" there is a field for min and for max.

you can enter it there

if it's an existing channel , like translate, rotate, or scale, you can set min max using the attribute editor.

select the control , open the attribute editor. and scroll down to "limit information" , open this menu set.

there you can see rotate limits. but also you can open and edit the translate and scale
