Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

infinity cycle help

hey,

Just a quick question,
i have a cycle of a character running, i've animated one cycle and then used the infinity cycle in the graph editor to have it repeating over and over..
my question is, is there a way of interupting the infinity cycle further along in the animation but keep the cycle going up to that point?? for instance, i want to have my character run for a 10 seconds then trip up and fall over.
is it a simple case of copying and pasting the key frames or is there an automatic way of doing it?
i hope that makes sence, help would be very much appreciated!!

cheers, pat

I believe this can be done using the 'Trax' editor, have a look into information about it in the help files.
